The technical project was followed by Ferry Porsche, while the aesthetic one was followed by his son. He tried in every way to create a cockpit that was suitable to accommodate four people. Soon, however, he gave up this enterprise and fell back on the classic 2+2. Immediately the line of the car turned out to be elegant and balanced. The first version was presented in 1963 and is still in production. In 1972 the 911 Carrera RS (RennSport) was offered, powered by a 2,687 cm³ (210 hp) mechanically injected version of the classic 6-cylinder boxer engine and a lighter body with aluminium bonnets and doors and slimmer non-structural sheets. The Carrera RS was available in a Touring version with an interior similar to that of the 911 S and Sport, with a simplified interior layout to further reduce weight, and was recognisable by its famous ducktail rear wing, the adhesive strips on the side and the alloy wheels to match the strips. It was only available in the coupe version, the performance was remarkable, with a weight of 980 kg the 0-100 km/h sprint was in just 5.9 seconds for a top speed of 237 km/h. But the real treat for enthusiasts all over the world came with the new range which included the 911 standard (150 hp), the 911 S (177 hp) but above all the 911 Carrera (210 hp) all available in two body versions coupé and targa. In the year 1974 the body design of the Porsche 911 was extensively reworked for the first time. In addition to a Coupé and Targa version, a Cabriolet version was also available from the 1983 model year. The most striking features of this 911 generation are the bumpers with black plastic gussets placed higher up. Between the rear light clusters of the G model is a red grille and, depending on the year, red or black Porsche lettering. The rear license plate is flanked by two large rubber bumpers with integrated license plate lighting. The fenders with black gussets placed higher up on the G model were a consequence of US type approval regulations. Subsequently, the bumpers had to be able to absorb an impact with a fixed obstacle up to a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) without damage to the bodywork. To achieve this effect, the bumpers were connected to the body on hydraulic shock absorbers in cars for the US market. In models that were not intended for the US market, cheaper shock absorbers were fitted instead of hydraulic shock absorbers. These had to be replaced after a potential collision. However, shock absorbers were available as an option. The magnificent specimen we are offering at auction is a magnificent and very rare example of a 1974 Porsche 911 2.7 "Targa" in its original Orange color (code 156) and with its original black leatherette interior (matching color). The car is one of the few 2.7 "Targa" delivered in Italy in 1974 (it has its original engine (matching number) the legendary 2.7 150 hp with mechanical injection of the classic 6-cylinder boxer. This example is registered in Genoa in 1974 and remains of the same owner until today. The car was found in an old garage after several years by a family member of the original owner (now deceased). For this reason it is 100% to be considered a barn find, since to date it has had only one owner. The body is in excellent condition overall, the paint is still that of first production (first paint) under the dust is intact and does not present any suffering, the interior is original, intact (small cut on the driver's side seat) and preserved. The engine having been stopped for several years will certainly need a general overhaul of all mechanical components and some accessories, but it is 100% original. This car is part of an amazing c
