Porsche 911 SC

In model year 1978, the 911 range was reduced to two models, with the 911 SC (Super Carrera) replacing the 911 and Carrera models. From model year 1984, the SC version was in turn replaced by the 911 Carrera.

Surrounds and door handles
Up until model year 1978, the window surrounds and door handles on the 911 SC were chrome-plated just like on previous 911 models; from model year 1979 they were anodised Black, as with the Carrera models.

Wheels
15" ATS cast aluminium wheels were fitted as standard on the 911 SC.

Exterior mirrors
The exterior mirrors of the 911 SC were electrically adjustable and painted in the vehicle colour.

Engines
The 911 SC was powered by a 3.0-litre boxer engine, the power of which was slightly increased over the years.
