Introduced in 1973, the G-Series marked the longest continuous production run of any classic 911 generation.
Recognisable by its impact bumpers and refined proportions, it combined evolving safety standards with unmistakable air-cooled character. Over the years, displacement increased, technology advanced, and performance intensified — culminating in icons such as the Turbo and the Carrera 3.2.
For many enthusiasts, the G-Series represents the definitive classic 911: durable, mechanical and timeless.
I. 1973–1977 — The ‘Impact’ Era
II. 1978–1983 — Turbo & Refinement
III. 1984–1989 — Carrera 3.2
IV. Peak Performance & Competition
I. 1973 – 1977: Carrera
The transition into a new era. Impact bumpers, improved safety and growing engine capacities shaped a stronger and more mature 911, while the first 930 Turbo introduced forced induction to the model line.
II. 1978 – 1983: Super Carrera
Increased displacement to 3.0 litres and steady technical improvements enhanced reliability and drivability. The 911 SC became the backbone of the range, balancing performance with everyday usability.
III. 1984 – 1989: Carrera
The 3.2 Carrera defined the final evolution of the classic platform. More power, improved electronics and the introduction of the G50 gearbox marked the most refined chapter before the arrival of the 964.
IV. 1973 – 1989: Performance & Competition:
The Carrera RSR carried forward Porsche’s racing DNA, while Clubsport versions stripped the 911 back to its essentials — lighter, sharper and purpose-built for drivers who valued precision over comfort.
