With its new 2 litre flat six engine developing about 130 HP the first 911’s gave excellent period performance. With the flat six engine progressively evolving through 2.2 litre, 2.4 litre and 2.7 litre variations, the power output also grew, evolving up to the 3.0 litre engines Debuting in the Original 911 Turbo (930).

The Carrera 3.0 released in 1976 was given the same Diecast Aluminium Crankcase as the Original 930.
