Porsche 911 S

The vehicle in detail

The 911 S has become one of the most sought-after and collectible long-nose models, fetching up to 200,000 EUR in the most desirable condition. In 1969, the wheelbase of the legendary 911 was extended by approximately 2.5 inches, providing better balance and handling. With its engine output increased to a potent 180 horsepower, thanks to larger valves and better breathing, a larger 225-millimeter clutch was required. The interior was also upgraded, with a new steering wheel lock and its instruments mounted in rubber rings.Externally, the previous push-button type door handles were replaced by new handles with a safer design, and the cars were delivered with full factory undercoating for the first time. Stopping power was provided by 280 mm ventilated front and 290 mm ventilated rear disc brakes, which proved to be more than enough for a car weighing 1080 kg. It could also accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just over seven seconds and reach a top speed of 144 mph. Few cars of its day were capable of matching its exhilarating performance.
