description
The first entirely new Porsche in 16 years the body of the 911 was completely new yet unmistakably Porsche. It came with disc brakes all round and a 5-speed manual box, the engine being a flat 6. As a result of racing development the 911S was introduced in 1966 with a net power of 160bhp, Weber carburettors and a top speed of 137mph. 1968 saw the addition of the popular Sportomatic gear box with its combination of manual and automatic drive.
American emission laws drove Porsche to develop a mechanical fuel injection system which also gave more power, they called the model 911E. 1969 saw the lengthening of the wheelbase by 2.25 inches to improve the handling. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, development history, technical & specification data, long-term tests, driver's impressions.
Models covered include: 911, 911S, 911L, 911E, Sportomatic, Targa.
