Total 911 issue 120 now on sale
Forget the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS, the venerable 911S is the original Porsche 911 icon, combining a heady mix of speed and comfort. In pre-impact bumper guise it truly was worthy of its ‘Super’ tag.
In fact, between 1966 and 1972, it was the top of the esteemed Porsche 911 range, a place cemented by a 2.2-litre 911S’s starring role in the opening scene of ‘Le Mans’, Steve McQueen’s seminal racing movie.
On top of the 2.2-litre version, the Porsche 911S was also fitted with 2.0 and 2.4-litre powerplants during its tenure atop the Zuffenhausen tree, making for a tricky choice when faced with the proposition: ‘Which 911S is the purist’s choice?’
Inside Total 911 issue 120, Josh puts each generation of pre-impact bumper Porsche 911S through its paces, while charting the history of these ‘Super’ 911s, in an effort to decide which Porsche 911S rules the roost.
From the original 2.0-litre, 0-Series Porsche 911S through to a rare right-hand drive 2.4-litre 911S (complete with idiosyncratic external oil filler), get behind the wheel of this £500,000 collection for our ultimate classic Porsche group test.
