Porsche 2,4L S 1972 for sale

For sale: Porsche 911 2.4L S (1972) original French. Model history: Produced in only two model years, the Porsche 911 2.4 S embodies the pinnacle of the first generation of the so-called "classic" 911s, before the introduction of the G models. It combines timeless elegance, established sportiness, and mechanical refinement. Equipped with the famous 2,341 cm³ flat-6 engine, the S version develops 190 hp at 6,500 rpm, making it the most powerful and fastest 911 of its generation. The engine benefits from Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI), providing a quick response and a marked sporty character. It reaches 230 km/h and breaks the 0 to 100 km/h in less than 7 seconds, remarkable performance for the time. Among the noteworthy specifications, the 1972 model stands out for its famous oil tank relocated in front of the right rear wheel, a solution designed for better mass balancing — abandoned already in 1973 for practical reasons. The 2.4 S is also distinguished by its Fuchs wheels, optimized suspension, and enhanced braking system. Inside, the atmosphere is typically Porsche: complete instrumentation, refined finishes, and a driving position focused on pleasure. A total of 6,022 units were produced, with only 3,603 coupes: 1972: 1,430 units 1973: 2,173 units The Porsche 911 2.4 S remains today one of the most appreciated models by purists, for its mechanical balance, rarity, and purity of design, just before the major stylistic and regulatory evolutions of the mid-1970s.
