1983 Porsche 911 SC

Introduced in 1978, the Porsche 911 SC quickly earned its place as a beloved variant of the iconic 911 lineage. With a revised 3.0-liter flat-six engine, the SC delivered robust power and torque lower in the rev range, offering an exhilarating yet accessible driving experience. This engine, noted for its reliability, marked a significant improvement over its predecessor, the 2.7-liter flat-six, and was paired with a fully galvanized body shell, ensuring the car’s longevity.

Automotive legend David E. Davis Jr. praised the 911 SC in Car & Driver’s March 1978 issue, highlighting the car’s exceptional build quality and driving dynamics. He remarked, “There is a hard-to-define ‘rightness’ about this car, inside and out. It’s tight, solid, and apparently very well put together. It fairly shouts quality. Driving it is an exercise in euphoria, a chance to sample something as different from conventional cars as turbo-props were from piston-driven aircraft.”

Despite Porsche’s initial plans to replace the 911 with the 928, the 911 SC’s popularity helped secure the 911’s future in Porsche’s lineup, leading to continued evolution and improvement of this iconic model. By 1983, the 911 SC was available in coupe, Targa, and for the first time, cabriolet body styles, broadening its appeal.
