Replacing the 356, Porsche's long-running 911 arrived in 1964. The rear engine layout seen in its predecessor was conserved, however Porsche would this time approach the body with a steel monocoque design and replaced the suspension with modern McPherson strut technology. In its first incarnation, Porsche's single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooled flat six displaced 1,991cc and produced 130 horsepower (hp); progressively enlarged and developed, it would eventually grow to more than three liters and, in turbo-charged form, put out well over 300 horsepower. The first of countless upgrades came in 1966 with the introduction of the 911S. Easily distinguishable by its stylish Fuchs five-spoked alloy wheels, the 'S' featured a heavily revised engine producing 160 hp, raising the top speed by 16 km/h to 216 km/h.
A lengthened wheelbase introduced in 1969 improved the 911's handling, and then in 1970 the engine underwent the first of many enlargements, to 2.2 liters. The S's power output then was 180 hp, increasing to 190 hp with the introduction of the 2.4-liter engine for 1972. Tenacious adhesion, responsive steering, very good flexibility, superb brakes, meticulous finish and a solid feel were just some of the virtues praised by Motor magazine in its test of a Porsche 911 S in 1973.
