Model
The Porsche 911 SC was introduced in model year 1978 as the sole 911 series, replacing the previous 911 and Carrera models. It was replaced by the 911 Carrera in 1984. Technically, the SC was based on a 3.0-litre boxer engine, whose power was increased from 180 to 204 hp over the years. From 1979, black anodised trim elements and headlight rings painted in the body colour replaced the previous chrome elements. To this day, the 911 SC is one of the most sought-after classics among Porsche models.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Im Modelljahr 1980 wurde die Leistung des SC auf 138 kW (188 PS) angehoben und im folgenden Modelljahr 1981 durch Umstellung von Normal- auf Superbenzin auf 150 kW (204 PS) weiter gesteigert. Die halbautomatische Sportomatic entfiel. Die Langzeitgarantie gegen Durchrostung der Karosserie konnte mit Verwendung von beidseitig feuerverzinkten Stahlblechen auf sieben Jahre verlängert werden. Später wurde diese auf zehn Jahre ausgedehnt. Die Planungen der Unternehmensführung sahen vor, den 911 im Jahr 1981 auslaufen zu lassen. Die zukünftige Modellpalette sollte nur noch aus den modernen, wassergekühlten Wagen mit Frontmotor 924, 944 und 928 bestehen. Nach Ablösung des Vorstandsvorsitzenden Ernst Fuhrmann durch Peter W. Schutz zum Jahresende 1980 wurde diese Planung geändert. Als Signal für die Neuausrichtung präsentierte Porsche 1981 auf der IAA in Frankfurt die Studie eines 911 Cabriolets mit Turbomotor und Allradantrieb. Ab Modelljahr 1983 wurde für den SC außer Coupé und Targa das Cabriolet als dritte Karosserievariante angeboten. Für das Modelljahr 1984 wurde die Bezeichnung von SC in Carrera geändert und der Hubraum des Saugmotors auf 3,2 Liter erhöht, der 170 kW (231 PS) leistete. An die Stelle der mechanischen K-Jetronic trat die vollelektronische Motorsteuerung Motronic (Digitale Motor Elektronik, DME) von Bosch. Durch die DME reduzierte sich der Benzinverbrauch gegenüber dem SC-Vorgängermodell. Wegen schärferer Abgasvorschriften in den USA wurde erstmals auch ein Katalysator für den 911 angeboten. Diese mit Katalysator ausgelieferten Modelle hatten eine geringere Leistung als die Wagen ohne Kat. Sie betrug zunächst 152 kW (207 PS), die jedoch ab 1986 auf 160 kW (217 PS) angehoben wurde. Auf Wunsch wurde der Carrera mit einer Frontspoilerlippe und einem großen, flachen Heckspoiler geliefert. Er erhöhte die vom Werk angegebene Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 245 km/h für die Version ohne Kat mit 170 kW auf von auto, motor und sport gemessene 254 km/h.
