General Description

When the famed 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS finished production in 1974, Porsche offered a mechanically fuel injected Carrera or the G-Series Carrera 2.7 MFI. The MFI was similar in terms of specification to the 2.7 RS. Sharing the same trim and a RS Spec 210bhp 911/83 engine which enabled the car to do 0-60 mph in just over 5 seconds. The car was geared to achieve 150mph via a 5-speed manual transmission. Crucially the MFI matched the weight of the preceding 2.7 RS Touring at a scant 1075kg.

Aesthetically, the main difference between the RS Touring and the MFI was that the MFI was fitted with the G-Series impact bumper body and interior as opposed to the longer hood style. Cars produced before 1975 came with a whale tail or ducktail or tail delete whilst later cars produced from 1975 onwards came with a whale tail or tail delete.

In total, 1,633 units were produced worldwide. This includes the 113 German-only Sondermodell coupes that were produced during the tail end of the MFIs production in 1976 and reserved for Porsche’s most favoured clients. In addition to the standard production figures, Porsche built 631 Targa variants between 74’ and 76’ of which 20 were especially commissioned for the Belgian Gendarmerie. At the time, they were the fastest police cars in the world and the last mechanically fuel injected car Porsche produced.

In comparison to the computerised injection systems of the time, the Bosch Mechanical Fuel injection setup provided a prompt throttle response and a much more visceral driving experience.

About this specific vehicle

The first keeper of this MFI, Renzo Beltramelli ordered the 2.7 MFI in Viper Green Metallic, black leatherette with Shetland inlays, electric sunroof, Blaupunkt Bamberg radio, rear wiper, tinted windows and foglights. Beltramelli’s business had the exclusive waste collection contract for the Aosta region in northern Italy.

After Beltramelli, the MFI is known to have passed through three further Italian keepers, each one within the Piedmont region. It is thought that during its entire custodianship in Italy, the car would remain within 200 km of its original keeper.

In 2014 the 911 was purchased from an elderly gentleman in Turin, with the car presenting as an excellent basis for an easy restoration. The car had received a respray in silver, but the Viper Green metallic remained visible underneath the car.

Residing within a collection of close to 40 Porsches, the MFI received a full nut and bolt restoration, during which it was returned to its original configuration. Destined to be the ultimate weekend driver’s car, the collector unfortunately passed away before the restoration was completed.

In 2019, under the care of its current owner, the car underwent an extensive mechanical overhaul, focussing on the engine and gearbox. Following a recent mechanical overhaul including new tyres at the Porsche specialist BS Motorsport amounting to over £6,000, the car runs and presents well and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately.

Perhaps one of the draws to the MFI, apart from its vibrant paintwork, competitive pricing compared to its highly collectable predecessor, the 2.7 RS. Sharing the many of the inner workings, the MFI offers an appealing package for the discerning Porsche enthusiast, seeking a responsive, driver-focused classic Porsche. The MFI was built in very similar numbers to the 2.7 RS with 1,011 in 1974, 509 in 1975 and just 113 for the German market in 1976.
