The Porsche 911 S 2.4L (1972-1973) represents the performance variant of the long-wheelbase early 911. The 911 S features an air-cooled 2.4-liter flat-six producing 190 horsepower with mechanical fuel injection (MFI). Power is delivered through a 5-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. Performance includes 0-60 mph in approximately 6.5 seconds with 144 mph top speed. Weighing approximately 2,370 pounds, the 2.4S features sport suspension, ventilated disc brakes, distinctive Fuchs alloy wheels, and front chin spoiler. The 2.4-liter engine represents the sweet spot in early 911 development, offering strong performance with relative reliability before emissions regulations significantly impacted power output. The long-wheelbase chassis introduced in 1969 improved handling stability. The 911 S 2.4L represents classic air-cooled 911 character with naturally aspirated flat-six sound, mechanical simplicity, and timeless styling, making it highly desirable among vintage Porsche collectors.
