911 S 2.7

1974–1977Coupé · Targa

The 911 S 2.7 sat in the middle of the early G-Model line-up: the same K-Jetronic 2.7-litre flat-six as the base car, but tuned to 175 PS (129 kW), a 25 PS gain over the entry model. Top speed rose to 225 km/h (140 mph) and 0–100 km/h fell to 7.6 seconds. Like every early G-Model it was offered as a Coupé or Targa, and it was produced alongside the rarer Kugelfischer-fed Carrera 2.7. Porsche dropped the S after 1977 as the range consolidated around 3.0-litre cars.
