Description
Model history:
Produced over only two years, the Porsche 911 2. 4 S embodies the peak of the first generation of the so-called “classic” 911s, before the introduction of the G-series models. It blends timeless elegance, assertive sporting character and mechanical refinement.
Equipped with the famous 2, 341 cc 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), delivering a direct response and a distinctly sporting character. It tops out at 230 km/ h and 0–100 km/ h in under 7 seconds, remarkable performance by the standards of its era.
Among notable specifics, the 1972 model year stands out with its famous dry-sump oil reservoir mounted in front of the right rear wheel, a solution devised for better mass balance — dropped in 1973 for practical reasons. The 2. 4 S is also distinguished by its Fuchs wheels, tuned suspension and upgraded braking.
Inside, the Porsche vibe is unmistakable: full instrumentation, careful finishes and a driving position centred on pleasure.
Produced in total in 6, 022 examples, of which only 3, 603 were coupes:
1972: 1, 430 examples
1973: 2, 173 examples
Today the 911 2. 4 S remains one of the most sought-after models for purists, prized for its mechanical balance, its rarity and the purity of its lines, just before the major stylistic and regulatory evolutions of the mid‑1970s.
Historique de cette Porsche 911 2, 4L S :
Delivered new in France in October 1972, this is the 247th Porsche 911 S, model year 1973 leaving the factory.
Its trail reappears in November 1994 in a letter from Porsche Import, confirming its original specifications and country of first delivery. This document was probably requested during its import into Belgium.
In 1997 it changed ownership while remaining on Belgian soil, before returning to France in 2002, more precisely to Île‑de‑France, the region it has never left since.
Acquired as a co-owners’ share 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.
Its current owner took possession in 2022.
Bodywork:
In 2011, bodywork was carried out at Porsche Vélizy, including a full repaint in its original colour: blue. Today the car is presented in remarkable condition, with particularly meticulous bonnet and door alignment.
