In 1976 the hand throttle was eliminated after the equipment of the vacuum-controlled warm-up regulator on the K-injection fuel injection. The folding Targa top again became standard equipment. The 911S was the only U.S. model besides the Turbo. For the first time, Porsche offered a six-year warranty against rust because the bodies were built of galvanized steel.
