History of The Porsche 911 Carrera
The Carrera nameplate returned to the Porsche line in late 1972 with the 1973 Carrera RS and RST (touring). In 1974 Porsche added a Carrera coupe and Targa to the line with the CIS 2.7 engine.
The 1974 model year 911’s featured arguably the most significant developments yet seen with fundamental changes being made throughout. Porsche’s main concern lay with ensuring the new variants would comply with US safety and emissions standards. Some of the changes to G-series 911’s were focused on improving handling and ride. A new forged aluminum trailing-arm rear suspension was introduced, this being significantly lighter and sturdier than the steel affair on earlier examples. Both the 911 and S featured larger 16mm anti-roll bars whilst the flagship Carrera rode with even thicker 20 and 18mm items (as well as gas-filled Bilstein shocks). The 911 and 911 S went into production with distinctive ATS ‘Cookie Cutter’ rims while the Carrera use Fuchs alloys.
A number of changes were also made inside, undoubtedly the most obvious having been distinctive new high-backed seats with integral head restraints. Inertia-reel seat belts were also fitted to every 911 regardless of its market destination. The door trim also being subtly redesigned and usefully incorporating an arm rest that opened from the top to provide a practical storage bin. Velour pile carpet was found on all models although electric windows were only standard on the Carrera.
