Porsche 911 T

The 911 T employed a 2.2-litre version of the standard flat-six engine. Modifications included dropping the compression ratio down to 8.5:1 and the use of cast-iron cylinder walls as opposed to the iron/aluminium ‘Biral’ sleeves. Features that separated the 911 T from its siblings were the use of non-vented disc brakes, a four-speed transmission, and the absence of front and rear anti-roll bars. The 911 T could accelerate to 60 mph in eight seconds and a top speed of 129 mph. Where performance was marginally detuned, the quality of ride and comfort was greatly increased, and for many Porsche customers this was considered a very fair trade.
The open-top 911 model was called the Targa—so named for Porsche’s successes in the celebrated Sicilian race. Previously only an option, fixed rear glass became standard in the 1970 model year. With the roof removed, the interior of this Tangerine Porsche is on full view. This model year included the addition of a flip-out ashtray in the dash panel, larger door storage pockets, and a day-night rear-view mirror mounted on the windshield. Seat panels finished in black-and-white plaid ensure that the interior looks just as cool as the exterior!
