Description
Model History: Produced over just two years, the Porsche 911 2. 4 S represents the pinnacle of the first generation of so-called "classic" 911s, before the introduction of the G models. It combines timeless elegance, assertive sportiness and mechanical refinement. Equipped with the famous 2, 341 cm³ flat-6 engine, the S version develops 190 bhp at 6, 500 rpm, making it the most powerful and fastest 911 of its generation. The engine benefits from Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI), offering crisp response and a distinctly sporty character. It reached a top speed of 230 kph and accelerated from 0 to 100 kph in less than 7 seconds, a remarkable performance for its time. Among its special features, the 1972 model was distinguished by its famous oil tank, which was offset in front of the right-hand rear wheel, a solution designed to improve weight balance - but which was abandoned in 1973 for practical reasons. The 2. 4 S was also distinguished by its Fuchs wheels, optimised suspension and reinforced braking. Inside, the atmosphere was typically Porsche: full instrumentation, meticulous finish and a driving position focused on pleasure. 6, 022 examples were produced in total, of which only 3, 603 were coupes: 1972: 1, 430 examples 1973: 2, 173 examples The 911 2. 4 S remains one of the most prized models among purists, for its mechanical balance, its rarity and the purity of its design, just before the major stylistic and regulatory changes of the mid-1970s.
History of this Porsche 911 2, 4L S: Delivered new in France in October 1972, this is the 247ᵉ Porsche 911 S vintage 1973 that left the factory. Its trace reappeared in November 1994 on the occasion of a letter from Porsche Import, confirming its original specifications as well as its country of first delivery. This document was probably requested when the car was imported into Belgium. In 1997, the car changed ownership but remained in Belgium, before returning to France in 2002, more precisely to the Île-de-France region, where it has remained ever since. Acquired as a co-owner in 2003, it passed into the hands of a new co-owner in 2007. Since its return to France, it has been regularly serviced at the Porsche Centre in Vélizy, with its current owner taking possession in 2022. Bodywork: In 2011, bodywork work was carried out at Porsche Vélizy, including a complete repaint in its original shade of blue. Today, the car is in remarkable condition, with particularly meticulous adjustments to the bonnets and doors. Upholstery: Leaving the factory with a black leatherette interior, this 911 S was fitted with optional left and right headrests, as well as electric windows. The upholstery is still in excellent condition, as are the original carpets and headlining. Engine: The engine was completely rebuilt in 2006. Since then, it has been regularly serviced, mainly at the Centre Porsche Vélizy.
Today, this 911 S runs perfectly. Gearbox: Its original gearbox works well, the gears shift perfectly. Running gear: The front and rear axles are stable, very good road holding. Chassis handling is good. There is no play or noise. Konni shock absorbers were fitted as an option. Since then, the car has been regularly serviced, mainly at the Centre Porsche Vélizy. Braking is perfect and in a straight line. Selling price: 150. 000€.
