2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T vs 1975 911 Carrera 2.7: new vs used

As the shattering realisation sets in that there will soon be no more atmo Porsche 911, the older and atmo Porkers are only going to increase in value.

But what do you do if you can’t see yourself dealing with a high-maintenance classic? You buy a new Carrera.

Enter the Carrera 2.7. Air-cooled, barely more than a tonne of metal, and a sound that will bring joy to even the atmo-agnostics. Sure, it’s not going to be as comfortable as the new Porker, but why are you worried about being comfortable if you’re buying a Carrera?

In terms of the ‘magic handling’ our Feb ’75 article describes, you might find yourself feeling a little more confident in the new Carrera, with Porsche’s active stability management (or PASM) being a standard feature.
