    German market 1970S predated 73RS concept ?

    Recently I read an unique german Porsche test report - published in april 1970 - portraying the 2.2litre models.

    They quote that "the 1970 911S was german delivered in standard version as a
    -sport-911S including Recaro buckets, pull straps on door panels, lightweight bumpers, 110l tank w center fill, no rear scripts, spacesaver spare etc.
    It also could be ordered with a special "comfort" equippement “similar to the 911E” including radio etc.
    The test also states the 911S was planned as a competition car while 911T and 911E would be for a larger export client base".

    While Piech could not push the 1968 911R behond a race car homologation as he wished for, the 1970 911S would be based on a new idea :
    *911S "comfort-E"
    *911S "sport-S"
    *911S "GT4 / S/T"
    This would predate the 1973RS concept with touring, light and homologation cars since it was already thought out in late 1969.
    Shure the 73RS was another car with larger 2.7l engine, ducktail and larger rear wheels but almost everything else was around for sale on a standard 1970 911S, three years before.

    Comments on this board refer this white 911 always as a base for S/T models but maybe it was not but rather a german 1970 911S in its standard -sport-version for sale at 28'749 Deutschmark !


    Interior shot, most likely from a late MY69 prototype model.
    No glovebox and no radio.


    Most likely red 911S which interior we see above, MY69.
