Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Someone aked me this the other day and I didn't have an answer. Why are all the 911's (other than the Targa, Turbo, GT2/3) called Carrera?

POST 3Original post

"Carrera" is Spanish for race, in the sense of rush, or hurry

POST 5Original post

Carrera became the designation for the street 911 with the introduction of the 200 hp 3.2 liter motor in 1984. The SC from '78-'83 stood for Super Carrera. Before that Carrera was reserved for super performance versions only.

Actually not true, but a common misconception. Or should I say, it stood for that on some internet boards decades after the car was produced, but never by Porsche in any sales literature or elsewhere. The rest of your reply is on the money, though!

POST 7Original post

I always thought the same thing....then what does SC stand for? J

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 4813558

I've always heard Super Carrera, though it was never called that, or marketed as Super Carrera by Porsche themselves. Maybe that's the misconsemption, the fact Porsche didn't outright call it that. Just a guess.

POST 10Original post

As a side note, the last of the 356s were referred to as SC. The first 911 to have the designation SC was the '73 Carrera RS.

POST 11Original post

Well, I stand corrected. I must say that this is the first I've ever seen of this in a lifetime of collecting Porsche literature and following the cars, (worked at dealer in '80s as well, but slightly after the SC model). I do not recall Porsche ever using that designation in any sales literature or advertisements back then, can anyone correct me on this? TIA.
