Porsche 911 Targa G-Series 2,7 liter 1974
Porsche 911 Targa G-Series 2,7 liter 1974
The Porsche 911 was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was initially designated as the "Porsche 901", after its internal project number. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. It went on sale in 1964.
1974 was the introduction of impact bumpers to conform to low speed protection requirements of US law, these bumpers being so successfully integrated into the design that they remained unchanged for 15 years. In 1974 the engine size was increased to 2687 cc giving an increase in torque. It was available either as a coupe or a Targa.
From a driver’s standpoint, the engine has the raw, visceral bark we all know and love of air-cooled 911's. Even better, the 2.7 911s cater to the driver that wants to feel their ride; no power steering or brakes. The car literally talks to you-allowing you to feel, hear and sense everything that is happening. Whether you are an aspiring 911 owner, or someone who owns a 997 and wonders about the older 911's, the ’74 to ‘76 2.7 litre generation of this iconic sports car is worth a look
