1967 Porsche 911 S Coupe
The year 1967 saw the introduction of Porsche’s first high-performance 911—the 911 S, or “Super.” Building on the already impressive 911 platform, the new 160 bhp “S” featured a higher-compression (9.8:1) engine with larger valves, forged light-alloy pistons on forged and nitride connecting rods, a revised exhaust system, and a pair of 40 mm Weber triple-throat downdraft carburetors. The new 911 S came standard with new 4.5×15-inch Fuchs lightweight forged alloy wheels, Koni shock absorbers, ventilated brake discs, a larger-diameter front anti-roll bar, and a new rear anti-roll bar. Porsche added some additional distinctive trim to the body, while the engineers also managed to trim its weight. The new 911 S, capable of 140 mph, would become the benchmark for precision-built, well-equipped, and moderately priced sports cars.
