What Makes This Special
Authentic MFI Heritage This car carries the mechanical fuel injection system that disappeared from road cars after 1976. The Bosch K-Jetronic setup provides the instantaneous throttle response and distinctive “bark” that defines the MFI driving experience.
Portuguese Provenance As a Rest of World specification car, this Carrera avoided the emissions compromises forced on US-market vehicles. European-spec cars maintained the full 210 bhp output and retained the pure MFI character.
Recent Investment The comprehensive engine and fuel injection rebuild in April 2025 represents significant investment in maintaining authentic MFI specifications. Autosport Designs is known for quality Porsche work, suggesting proper attention to MFI system details.
Registry Context
Production Numbers This car represents one of approximately 1,000+ coupes produced in 1975 with MFI. Combined with 1974 and 1976 production, total Carrera 2.7 MFI coupe production reached just 1,633 units—making each survivor increasingly significant.
Auction Status This auction is scheduled to end October 1, 2025 at 2:11pm PT on the BringATrailer platform.

The MFI Difference
Why MFI Matters This car’s Bosch mechanical fuel injection system represents the last hurrah of purely mechanical fuel delivery in road-going Porsches. Unlike the CIS (Continuous Injection System) that replaced it, MFI provides:
- Instantaneous response - no electronic delays
- Mechanical precision - beautifully engineered fuel metering
- Distinctive sound - the famous MFI “bark”
- Racing heritage - direct lineage to competition systems
Historical Significance After 1976, MFI lived on only in racing applications like the 934½, 935, and SC/RS. This makes road-going MFI cars like this 1975 example the final expression of a legendary fuel injection technology.
