For 1972, all Porsche 911 variants received the 2.4-litre (actually 2,341cc) engine, by which time the 911S featured the stronger Type 915 five-speed gearbox and 6″x15″ alloy wheels as standard. Maximum power output depended on the destination market, and this particular car has the desirable ‘full power’ 190bhp engine. Epitome of the F Series, the 911S raced to 100km/h in 7 seconds and had a top speed of 230km/h; even the contemporary 911 Carrera exceeded its top speed by only 15km/h. For 1974, production switched to the 2.7-litre G-Series model, which was the first 911 to incorporate the large impact-absorbing bumpers – disliked by many purists – for whom the ‘2.4’ is the last ‘old school’ 911 and therefor all the more collectible.
