Porsche 911 S

The vehicle in detail

The car was born in September 1971 in its Hell-Fienbein color…or ivory white. The car was specified by the Porsche factory itself and they are also the ones who ordered the car. As I said, it is an elegant exterior that is simple in its details and that rests seemingly almost weightlessly over its wide Fuchs rims in a black and brushed finish. The exterior, just like most of the car, has undergone a renovation in recent years that included new paint and moldings on the outside. The car has also been mechanically overhauled with a complete engine renovation and a transition of the suspension and steering. The overall impression is a classic 911 that breathes mechanically and visually very strongly. The interior breaks with the bright exterior with its black upholstery. The sports seats are also newly upholstered and offer increased comfort and support in favor of more active driving. In front of the driver is a contemporary MOMO Prototipo steering wheel and just behind the iconic five instrument panels. The passenger side is adorned with a simple 911S emblem above the glove compartment.

Around 2473 cars were produced between 70-71 and only 1744 of these were coupés. Intended to be the crown jewel in the 911 series, the 2.2 S was, and is, something quite special compared to a ‘normal’ 911. The car was equipped with, among other things, rear anti-roll bars and a more motorsport-inspired engine that delivered a full 30 hp more than its siblings. Today it may not sound like much to the world, but in 1971, 30 hp was quite noticeable when the closest sibling only had 150 hp.
