911 ST

1969–1972Coupé

Homologation special rather than a road model. Porsche combined the 911 S engine with the 911 T's stripped interior to satisfy FIA Group 3, and the cars kept the 911 S name in official documentation while being called 911 ST internally. Weight reduction was radical: Plexiglas windows, aluminium and GFRP body parts, deleted heater ducts, glove-box lid, ashtray, sun visors and under-seal. The defining visual change was the flared fender, which widened the track to take seven-inch front and nine-inch rear tyres — hence the mismatched Fuchs front and Minilite rear wheels. From October 1970 it was orderable as a road-legal "Sport Standard Version" with the Mehr-Minder M471 package; M491 was the circuit car and M494 the rally car.
