The 1970 Porsche 911 S 2.2
The 1970 Porsche 911 S represents one of the most important developments of the first-generation 911, combining strong performance, low weight and handling that remains remarkably modern even by today’s standards.
The previous year Porsche had already introduced a wheelbase extended by approximately 6.3 cm, significantly improving stability and balance. For the 1970 model year, the 911 S received further technical refinements, including an increase in output to 180 hp, aided by larger valves and improved breathing for the celebrated six-cylinder boxer engine.

Updates introduced for the 1970 model year included:
- new 225 mm clutch;
- improved interior with instruments mounted on rubber supports;
- new steering lock;
- redesigned door handles;
- comprehensive factory-applied protective coating.
Braking was provided by four ventilated disc brakes, while a kerb weight of approximately 1,100 kg contributed to exceptional performance for the period:
