911 S 2.2

1970–1971Coupé · Targa

The sharpest car in the 2.2 range: 180 PS at 6,500 rpm on 9.8:1 compression, the highest output of the fuel-injected sixes before the 2.4 arrived. Its magnesium-alloy crankcase, larger valves and ports and stronger conrods were inherited from the racing development work, and Porsche's factory team used the S — with a lower-geared final drive — for circuit work. The 911 S 2.2 also became the homologation basis for the 911 S/T: combining the S engine with the T's reduced interior equipment gave Porsche a car that swept the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally. The long-wheelbase 2.2 S is widely regarded as the finest all-round early 911.
