Introduced in 1967, the Porsche 911 S marked the beginning of the high-performance 911s. With its 2.0-liter boxer engine, tuned to 160 hp (118 kW), and striking 4.5-inch Fuchs wheels, it set new standards in sports performance. It was available as a coupé and as a rarer Targa (some with a “soft-window” rear window). Due to its low production numbers and direct driving feel, the model is now considered a coveted collector’s item and a technical milestone. Key historical facts:
- Engine: The 2.0-liter engine (Type 901/02) used Weber carburetors to boost power to 160 hp.
- Design features: Characteristic of the 1967 model are, among other things, the “green instruments” in the dashboard and the right-facing windshield wipers (left-facing from 1968 onward).
- Chassis & Handling: Known as the “Short Wheelbase” (SWB) model, the 911 S offers particularly agile, if demanding, handling.
- Motorsport offshoot: Based on the 911 S, Porsche developed the radical lightweight sports car 911 R, which was created as a prototype in 1967 and underscored the brand’s motorsport ambitions.
- Rarity: Production of the 1967 S model was limited, making it a rarity. The “soft-window” Targa variants, in particular, are extremely sought-after today.
The 1967 911 S is considered the “pure form” of the 911 sports car and formed the basis for the iconic development of the 911 model series in the decades that followed.
