From 1974 to 1976, Porsche introduced a limited number of high-performance lightweight Carreras, exclusively for the European market. Known as “Euro Carreras,” these cars were equipped with the famous Type 911/83 2.7-liter engine, producing 210 horsepower with Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI) – the same engine that powered the iconic 1973 Carrera RS 2.7.
These models came in a fully trimmed, updated 911 body, similar in style to the M472 ‘Touring’ version of the 1973 RS. A tail spoiler was offered as an option, and a Targa version of the Carrera 2.7 MFI was also available.
In 1975, Porsche celebrated its 25th anniversary by releasing the special edition Jubiläum (M426), a highly sought-after model in the G-series 911 lineup. Originally planned for a production run of 400 units, Porsche ultimately produced 484 cars, all in Diamond Silver Metallic with a black and dark blue plaid interior.
These cars came fully equipped with factory options, including a Blaupunkt Bamberg radio, Koni shock absorbers, heated windows, and Fuchs alloy wheels. While most Jubiläum models featured the 175-hp 2.7-liter engine from the 911 S, 25 were fitted with the more powerful 210-hp Carrera MFI engine.
