After two years of successful sales of their new 911 model, Porsche introduced their first model iteration, the 911 S (for “Super”) in 1966. It featured a much more powerful engine, ventilated brake discs, adjustable Koni shock absorbers and a rear anti-roll bar too.
The engine power was up to 160bhp, from the 130bhp of the standard 911. This was achieved through the use of Weber carburettors, a more aggressive camshaft and a higher compression ratio. Peak torque was at a relatively high 5,200 rpm while peak power was produced at 6,600 rpm with a maximum rev limit of 7,200. Completed on 16 August 1967 and delivered in March the following year, this 1968 model year car is one of 1,267 911S made. At around the same time, Porsche sales released a document titled “Information Regarding Using PORSCHE Vehicles For Sports Purposes” a highly detailed guide to uprating production 911 derivatives of the day (911 L, T and S) that influenced the restoration of this car
