The Car Behind This Bag
1980-1981 · 3.0L flat-six · Zuffenhausen · G-series chassis · the 911 that almost wasn't
The 911 SC was the car Porsche built when the company was preparing to discontinue the 911 entirely. Through the late 1970s the official strategy was to replace the air-cooled flat-six with the front-engined, water-cooled 928. The 911 SC — Super Carrera — launched in 1978 as a kind of holding pattern, with a 3.0-litre flat-six in 180-horsepower trim and a build quality that reflected the factory's quietly ambivalent feelings about the model.
The car saved itself. SC sales held steady through every year of its production while the 928 underperformed against ambitious targets. By 1981 Peter Schutz, Porsche's new American CEO, walked into the engineering office, drew an extended line on the 911 production chart pinned to the wall, and informed the team that the 911 would not, in fact, be discontinued. The decision became one of the most-told stories in modern Porsche history.
Porsche built 58,914 911 SCs from 1978 through 1983 before the 3.2 Carrera replaced it. The cars are now considered the entry point into proper air-cooled 911 ownership — built well, mechanically simple, and trimmed in the chequered cloth and textured leather that defined Zuffenhausen interiors of the early 1980s.
