The Porsche 911 S, introduced in late 1966 for the 1967 model year, quickly established itself as the performance pinnacle of the early 911 lineage. The 'S' designation, for "Super," wasn't just a badge; it signified a comprehensively upgraded machine. Porsche engineers extracted more power from the flat-six, initially 160 hp from the 2.0-liter, later growing to 170 hp in the 2.2-liter engine introduced in 1970. This generation of 911 S also debuted the iconic Fuchs alloy wheels, designed to reduce unsprung weight and improve handling. These early S models are revered for their pure driving dynamics, lightweight construction, and the intoxicating mechanical symphony of their high-revving engines, representing a golden era before the impact bumper generation arrived. This striking 1971 Porsche 911 S, finished in a vibrant Orange with a classic Black interior, embodies the quintessential appeal of these sought-after long-hood Porsches. Showing 87,608 miles on the odometer, this coupe hails from the final year of the 2.2-liter 'S' before the transition to the 2.4-liter engine in 1972. The 2.2-liter S engine, known for its free-revving nature and 180 horsepower output, paired with the five-speed manual transmission, delivers an unfiltered driving experience that defines the era. This 911 S presents an opportunity to acquire a vibrant example of one of Zuffenhausen's most celebrated early sports cars.
