A special Porsche with the famous 2.7 MFI engine and just 26,000 miles

The Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI (mechanical fuel injection), was aimed at worldwide markets apart from the United States, where the Carrera 2.7 was restricted to the 2.7 K-Jetronic engine to sit more easily with Porsche America's marketing strategy.

So the rest of us were able to benefit from a new model utilising the same brilliant power-plant as the now iconic 1973 Carrera RS, making them mechanically identical, but with a few concessions towards civility and day to day use.

In its introductory year of 1974, the Carrera 2.7 MFI came fitted with a 'ducktail' spoiler and the new G-Series chassis was 'beefed-up' to appease ever stricter US crash worthiness requirements.

The floor pans were strengthened, lighting was improved and larger bumpers incorporated.
