The mid-1970s were an interesting moment for sports-car buyers and racers alike: engineering improvements met fuel-era compromises, so Porsche offered a mix of high-performance and practical models that still appeal to collectors and drivers today. That variety shows up in the technical choices and production runs from that year.
There are 7 1975 Porsche Car Models, ranging from the 911 to the 914. For each entry you’ll find below Variant,Engine (L / hp),Production (units) — a compact layout that makes differences in displacement, power and rarity easy to compare; you’ll find below.
Which 1975 Porsche models should I look for if I want investment potential?
Look for rarer engine and option combinations (limited-production variants, higher-displacement or higher-hp engines) and well-documented cars with matching numbers and service history; the 911 variants typically attract the most attention, while certain 914/6 examples can be valuable when original and unrestored.
How accurate are the production numbers and where do they come from?
Production figures come from factory records, marque registries and respected historian sources, but totals can vary slightly between references due to regional assembly differences and later reclassifications, so treat the listed numbers as best-available, cross-checked estimates.

Images and Descriptions
911
The 911T was the entry-level 911 in 1975 with a 2.7L flat-six around 130hp. Sold as coupe and Targa, US cars had heavier impact bumpers and emissions tuning; it remained the volume seller in Porsche’s lineup that year.
911
The 911E offered fuel injection and a balanced tune: a 2.7L flat-six making about 150hp. Available in coupe and Targa forms, the E bridged comfort and performance and was popular with buyers seeking drivability in 1975.
911
The 911S was the sportier 2.7L model tuned to roughly 175hp, with firmer suspension and desirable options. Offered as coupe and Targa, it represented the performance-focused road-going 911 for 1975 buyers wanting sharper handling and higher output.
911
Introduced as Porsche’s first production turbocharged 911 in 1975, the 930 used a 3.0L turbo flat-six around 260hp. Notable for its wide body, distinctive spoiler and strong performance, early production totals were small and sought-after today.
914
The 914/4 continued as Porsche’s entry-level mid-engined model in Europe in 1975, with a 1.7L flat-four producing ~80hp. Known for balanced handling and affordability, European spec cars differed from later US-emission versions.
914
US-market 914s in 1975 were commonly fitted with a 2.0L flat-four near 95hp to meet demand and emissions rules. The 914 remained a distinctive, mid-engined Porsche alternative offering practicality and nimble handling for American buyers.
911
While the classic Carrera RS 2.7 was a 1973–74 homologation special, factory-recognized Carrera-badged examples existed in some markets into 1975 as used/new remaining stock; not a regular new-production model in 1975 and production figures are not applicable.
