911 3.0 Carrera

The cabin features McKenzie tartan seat inserts framed by cinnamon leather bolsters. This example is equipped with optional factory air conditioning.

The dashboard retains Porsche’s five-dial instrument cluster with the tachometer at the center. The car is fitted with the three-spoke steering wheel and the standard G-series dashboard layout.

Power comes from the Type 930/02 engine, a 2,994 cc air-cooled flat-six producing 200 hp and 255 Nm, equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic injection.

Cooling is handled by the five-blade engine fan specific to the Carrera 3.0.

It is paired with the Type 915 gearbox, with aluminum casing components shared with the 930 Turbo.

The five-blade cooling fan used on the Carrera 3.0 is unusual among air-cooled 911 engines. Porsche adopted it in the late 1970s to reduce mechanical drag and improve engine efficiency, although later models returned to the traditional 11-blade fan to increase cooling capacity.

Today, the five-blade fan is an easy visual identifier of late-1970s 911 engines.
