911 E 2.2

1970–1971Coupé · Targa

The refined middle car of the C and D series. Although it made 25 PS less than the 911 S, the E's softer camshafts and injection delivered more torque low down, which made it quicker than the S up to 160 km/h — and Porsche's own rally team preferred exactly that broad power band, which is why private rally entrants nicknamed it the "secret weapon from Zuffenhausen" while buying S models for the road. The E kept the hydro-pneumatic front struts for ride comfort, added an aluminium engine lid and aluminium front bumper section for weight saving, and carried gold anodised rear badging. It was the least popular of the three 2.2 variants.
