The "Last" Porsche 911: Super Carrera

The year is 1980. Porsche is having their worst year ever.
Looking for a way forward, the brand decides to discontinue the already decade old family of vehicles, the 911, and shuffle in the new age of the 928. With plans to discontinue the 911 by 1982, shuffling leadership in the brand ultimately saw a large return to profit by 1982 and decided to invest into developing the NEW 911, which was brought to market in 1984.
Luckily, the 911 family has stuck around to this day; and Porsche continues to bring driver-focused cars to automotive enthusiasts worldwide!
This 1980 911SC was to be the last model of 911 brought to market.
What was once a send-off to model from a brand in decline is now an iconic mark in the history of this automotive powerhouse.

My wife and I bought a used 1982 911 SC with 14k miles in 1986. We drove her for the next 29 years, putting 181k more miles on the odometer. She never failed to deliver. She was an amazing automobile. Each morning jumping in was as rewarding as the day before. Gosh I miss her.

Hello Donald. I had the misfortune of restoring a 1970 911 in 1978 . I couldn't believe how severe the corrosion could be on pretty new car ! In those days you couldn't get repair panels and so l had to make them . It taught me a lot ! And it was the first car l repainted in Glasurit 54 line .....to this day the best paint l ever used . It was a chocolate brown but we changed the colour to silver , what a difference ! Porsche were in the lead of galvanised bodywork , sadly a little too late for me ! 😆 Always a treat to watch , listen and learn Donald . Thankyou .

The 3.0L is one of the most reliable 911 engines made. Super fun cars.

@bengaltiger96 Год назад

Bought an `83 SC used with 117k miles on it. Paint was peeling a little, but the interior and mechanicals were rock solid. Even had the upgraded chain tensioner and airbox valve. Proceeded to put another 68k before it was destroyed by a drunk driver (luckily the car was parked and I wasn't in it). That car made my 32 mile commute to a coal mine so much fun on the backroads. The new mine boss picked up a then new 350z when they came out in late 2002, and he was surprised I could keep up with him on the turns (but he'd smoke me on the straights). Slow in, fast out, but watch out for the elks. Went the wrong way with the insurance check and picked up an old 308GTS QV after, which was fun, but wasn't as reliable. Picked up a 964 C2 before their prices shot through the roof and used that as my daily commuter to a mine in Texas; put 80k miles on it before selling it prior to my move to Australia. The air-cooled 911s were the business, but they are hella hard to find in Australia.

Even with it's factory option "automatic heat control" I can still remember the lack of effective defrost and consistent heat driving my 911SC back in 1980. Yet, this was the first car I just had to have and was my gateway into Porsche. The steering and grip of those 16" Pirelli P7's on Fuchs -- an amazing car of that era!

Always puts a smile on my face when driving our 1987 911 Targa, on a sunny day on a winding road in our park system.

@tedium37 2 года назад

These 80s 911SC G series, are my all time favorites. They are the automotive sweet spot.

@toddadale 2 года назад

Very well done- 13 years with my 1989 3.2 - Never leaves me with joy ever time I drive her 2 miles or 200

@verdict1163 2 года назад

I drove one of these once, thought it kind of drove like a tractor at low speeds, but it came alive on an open road, like all old Porsches tend to do. To this day it is the only car that I have broken a sweat in from muscling the heavy steering around the corners. The brake pedal felt excellent, very solid, like there was no flex in the linkage. Never could figure out whether I was going super fast, or whether the sensation of speed was just high. I do remember the confidence under braking though, I could dive bomb into corners on bumpy roads in a way that would have felt sketchy in any other car. Good torque.

Another great video with spot on commentary of a true classic. Thank you Donald.

@david05111 4 месяца назад

By the time this car left the line, it had around 180hp from the factory. The ROW (Rest of World) cars had 200+. It was a drop off, but not 140hp

@Cstoreri 2 года назад

Thanks Donald!

@donnewton415 2 года назад

I bought my 83 (new) when I came back from my first 2+ year deployment to the Persian Gulf. My second ship was in Newport (where this was shot) and rolled over to teach at Navy OCS. I still own the car and drive it. It's driven across country twice and only had an issue with popped head studs when I came home from Desert Storm, after it had set for about a year. EVERY time I think about buying a later/newer Porsche, I drive the car. That ends any thought of any thing else. These are indeed wonderful cars.

Lovely car, especially, at its age. Thank you.

Another informative and well produced video. Thanks for posting.

In my dream collection, the classic Porsche would be a requirement.

@jdd3993 2 года назад

I am personally glad they extended the life of the Air-Cooled chassis 911 into the 993... I love mine!

@tkong888 Год назад

Props to the 928! Thanks for this great content Donald!

@3.2Carrera 2 года назад

The galvanized body and the SC rear flairs was the template that took it all the way to 1989 really. It's an icon.

@danf321 2 года назад

A 911 is possibly my next dream car after I get familiar with the car I just inherited from my late father-in-law...a pristine 1983 944 5-spd. It’s a bit tedious to drive it in todays traffic, but I enjoy it and every drive is an adventure.

@aviation3530 2 года назад

31K miles. Wow. What a beauty!!

@beto5760 2 года назад

Donald you misspoke! The 1980 US SC had 180hp not 140ho! I have a targa and a coupe I’ll never sell

@tkong888 Год назад

5:55 so well said, and so true!

I'm waiting to see my beloved petroleum blue 930 turbo, petrol blue. To me she will always be priceless.

Porsche 911, icon, when you are on a good thing, stick to it.

@joshdobson2737 2 года назад

One day we will be able to look back at a manufacturer's ability to hide horsepower with........ I'm not sure what emotion, hopefully some sort of pride not failur!?!

@ChrisSaddlerSam Год назад

U R THE BEST!!!

@hertzair1186 Год назад

Correction…the 1980 911 had 172 hp in US trim.

@dab9742 26 дней назад

Call it just SC, or Subordinate Carrera, it will be more logical, and fair ! 76"-77" Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0L=200hp 1978 Porsche 911 SC=180hp No, the SC can't be a Super Carrera, as its declining power proves. See the 3.2L, which made 231hp when it was born in 1983, was christened Carrera. The SC was the 911 that was to disappear in favor of front-engined Porsches. 😉

@jamesdellaneve9005 2 года назад

I appreciate the modern Porsches. Performance and reliability. However, I was never a fan of the engine sound for the air cooled engines. And talk about doing the same thing for too long.
