History
In 1973, Porsche radically revised the 911, introducing the G-Series. This new generation retained the classic 911 silhouette while making notable modifications, including bumpers with plastic bellows to meet U.S. safety regulations. The vehicle's length was increased to 4,291 mm, providing more comfort. Under the hood, a 2.7-liter six-cylinder engine was installed, offering power outputs ranging from 110 kW (150 hp) to 148 kW (210 hp), depending on the variant. This evolution allowed the 911 to maintain its market position despite the economic challenges of the time. (newsroom.porsche.com)
