1979 911 SC
Loosely translated from the original German
After carefully coordinated model maintenance measures, the Porsche 911 started in its latest version: the air-cooled three-liter six-cylinder boxer engine now delivers 138 kW (188 hp, previously 180). This emphasized performance increase also comes with detail improvements to reduce consumption. Porsche has also improved the driving performance: the top speed is now 225 km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes only 7.0 seconds.
The 911 SC is still the only Porsche available as either a Coupé or Targa. The chassis has been further refined and now offers even more comfort with sporty driving. The braking system has also been revised and provides even better deceleration. The engine compartment is particularly accessible.
Just like the new 911 Turbo, the new SC now features a tube oil cooler, which ensures constant oil temperatures even under extreme conditions, thus maintaining engine cooling at a normal level.
