..... that only 3687 examples of the Carrera 3.0 were produced compared to nearly 58,000 911SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras.
..... that the Carrera 3.0 (along with the 2.7 and Turbo) was the first Porsche model to feature the trademark rectangular electrically operated door mirrors that remained a feature of the 911 up until 1992.
..... that the Carrera 3.0, despite a reputation for being a 'tamed-down' version of the original 2.7RS and 2.7 Carreras, had almost identical 0-60 and 0-100mph performance figures but was endowed with so much extra torque that it could pull from 25 to 100mph in top gear over 3 seconds faster than either of its production predecessors.
..... that the Carrera 3.0's engine was developed from the power unit of the very rare Carrera 3.0RS, of which only 109 were built. 50 of these cars were uprated to RSR specification and were enormously successful racers in the 1974 and 1975 seasons, winning both the FIA GT Championship and the IMSA Championship each year. For further photos of these fantastic cars you should visit the excellent Porsche 911 RSR Resource Page.
..... that the Carrera 3.0 was never officially imported into the United States - the 911S sold there was a variation of the 2.7 litre model with 165bhp. There are a few there now, though!
.... that the Carrera 3.0 is unusual in having a 5-blade cooling fan.
..... that in contemporary road tests the Carrera 3.0 posted quicker 0-60mph times than the 911 Turbo.
..... that Porsche 911 guru Michael Cotton wrote, in 1985, that as a personal choice, 'a production Carrera 3.0 with 200 horsepower and a distinctive 'cam' effect from 4,000rpm is a particularly nice car to own' and that two other Porsche gurus, Lindsay Porter and Peter Morgan, once memorably commented that the Carrera 3.0 'must rate as one of the most desirable of the 911 family'.
.... that the Carrera 3.0 is renouned for its free-revving engine. Its mechanicals featured a light aluminium crankcase (also used in the 935), a crankshaft inherited from the Carrera RS and a 6 bolt flywheel.
.... that the Carrera 3.0 is lighter than it successors, weighing in at 1093kg - making it almost 6% lighter than the SC (1160kg) and almost 10% lighter than the 3.2 (at 1210kg) in standard form. The standard car also weighs less than the later (1987-1989) stripped-down Carrera 3.2 Club Sport which weighed in at 1170kg.
My 180 bhp SC is very very "tight", and by that I mean that she was at first reluctant to go.
Paul Frere wrote on the SC:
In practice, the (180 bhp) 911SC has proved to be significantly faster than a 911 2.7, and significantly slower than the carrera 3.0, only in maximum speed, as illustrated by the comparison of three Auto Motor und Sport road tests:
911 2.7 (1975)
max speed 138.1 mph
0-100 km/h: 7.3 sec
0-160 km/h: 18.7 sec
standing start km: 27.9 sec
911 SC (1978)
max speed 141.6 mph
0-100 km/h: 6.3 sec
0-160 km/h: 15.8 sec
standing start km: 26.6 sec
911 Carrera 3.0 (1975)
max speed 146.2 mph
0-100 km/h: 6.1 sec
0-160 km/h: 15.0 sec
standing start km: 26.2 sec
I can't believe that I ever had a 6.3 sec time in my SC. The factory quoted a 0-100 km/h time of 7 seconds and that is how she (SC) feels. Bags of torque, really supple, but kind of boring in a reliable housewifey way. My C3 is the girl that gives you the craziest night of your entire life, but over and over again. No comparison really.
'...the legendary Porsche fist treats its passengers to an unimpaired punch. Only 6.3 seconds pass when the speedometer indicates 100 km/h. Thus, the 1976 Carrera is actually a tenth of a second faster than its 210 PS predecessor. Largely identical values are to be observed at the typical km/h markers: up until 180km/h the new car gains 0.2 seconds with 21 seconds in comparison to its predecessor.'
'A comparison of power delivery diagrams explains the miracle: up until 5000 rpm, the three litre machine delivers considerably more power then the 2.7 litre. At 2000 rpm, 73 PS are available as opposed to the 2.7 litres' 55 PS, at 3000 rpm the ratio is 115 : 85 PS and at 4000 rpm the ratio is 156 : 138 PS. The three litre is also more powerful at 5000 rpm with 187 PS where its predecessor delivers 180 PS. Only over that marker can the old Carrera finally get by and overtake. That is also the explanation for the slightly higher top speed of the old Carrera at 239km/h which, after an hour driving, will be 4 km further afield then the Carrera 3.0.'
