. . . With a first overall win at Le Mans under its belt, 1970 was a good year for Porsche. Just a few months earlier in August 1969, a bigger capacity version of its classic production flat-six was introduced; so for 1970 the 911S sported a 2195cc engine. Also for 1970 their “S” variant was offered with an optional Targa body style; this particular model has now become one of the rarest production models of all time since the 911 commenced manufacture. The combination of a 180 bhp race-ready package with the removable Targa roof was an instant success . . .

. . . The main focus of the model’s engine upgrade was re-profiled camshafts, larger valves, better porting & a higher compression ratio. This resulted in more horsepower (180BHP) torque slightly improved, the redline was raised to 7300 rpm and Porsche fitted an ignition cut out that interrupted the spark to the plugs near the maximum rpm. The chassis upgrades included a rear anti-roll bar, Koni shock absorbers and ventilated discs which replaced the standard solid rotors, special gear ratios were installed in the five-speed transmission including an overdrive 5th gear. The higher ratios allowed for 0-60 in eight seconds . . .

. . . Our ultra-rare 911S 2.2 Targa, one of only seven hundred twenty nine cars ever built! supplied new via Porsche Italy in May 1970; commissioned to be built in Black with Black Leatherette as it is still presented today. The car has had the added benefit of a detailed restoration and now presents in near pristine condition both bodily and mechanically . . .

. . . Available for immediate inspection at our central London showroom . . .
