The Carrera 3.0 was only produced during MY 1976 and 1977 (i.e. from autumn 1975 to spring 1977).

The 3.0 l engine aluminium block is the same used in the turbo 930. The fuel injection is provided by the ubiquitous K-Jetronic, which replaced progressively the legendary Bosch mechanical fuel injection feeding individual six throttle bodies which had been used in all 911 E, S, RS (and the USA 1972 T/E) models since 1969 MY. The result is a less "peaky" power delivery but much stronger torque (also thanks to the increased displacement) and much much lower fuel consumption. The "sporty", easy revving-up character of the 200 bhp boxer engine, legitimizing the preservation of the "Carrera" badge, is kept thanks to the RS-type 6-bolts crankshaftp.

Fiona was completed on April 20, 1977 (a little later than the expected delivery date of April, 1) and delivered in Germany to his first owner, who specified her not only with a three tone green upholstery and 7+8" x 16 Fuchs for a sportier look, but also with a very peculiar option recorded in her FAHRZEUG-AUFTRAG: brake booster deletion, which greatly increase the sensitivity of the driver. Fiona was eventually exported to Italy in the early '90s. At that time, she enjoyed various upgrades: full engine rebuild with hydraulic chain tensioners; short throw shift conversion; Bilstein suspensions; additional roof aerial. Being equipped with an open-type differential, her natural playground is the long range quick tourism, such as trans european cross country, alpine pass raids, etc. She is capable of safety and comfort which were simply unbeliavable more than 40 years ago and still outstanding.

Fiona is, as its name may suggest, green. Oak Green Metallic, for the sake of precision. And its interior, as mentioned, is on three-tone green, similar to the 930 of the Porsche museum.

Fiona enjoyed a full gearbox rebuilt in 2017 by a german specialist and some (expensive) TLC at Porsche Classic in Germany in 2019 to keep it safe and reliable for many years to come.
