A "cross-over" model, this 1972 model
?As the direct predecessor to the legendary 2.7 Carrera RS of late 1972/1973, the 'S' models for 1972 featured mechanical fuel injection giving a power output of 190bhp, an increase of 60bhp over the carburettor 'd'T' models.

In the early Seventies, Porsche were in a rich vein of competition success so it’s not surprising that the 2.4-litre 911 variants of that time are considered a reflection of that engineering prowess and only surpassed by the legendary 911 2.7 RS of 1973. Lessons learned at the circuit resulted in a number of revised settings for the new 911s mainly affecting braking and handling and amongst those were modified suspension pick-up points and the adoption of Koni dampers. Power from the 2.4-litre, fuel-injected unit had now reached 190bhp, giving a wonderful free-revving engine resulting in 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 144mph.
The much more user-friendly Type 915 five-speed gearbox completed the package.In 1972 Porsche made the decision to move the position of the oil tank from behind the right rear wheel to in front of it, changing weight distribution by offsetting some of the weight of the engine, positioned like any 911 over the rear axle, and in doing so generating improvements to handling when close to the limit.
Porsche installed the oil filler flap on the right rear quarter panel but, as is common knowledge, this was frequently mistaken for the fuel filler, particularly in the US, so it was subsequently changed back for the 1973 model year.Porsche produced just 1,430 of these 1972 911s known as the “side oil fill” or "oelkappe" with this very fine example leaving the factory on the 15th February 1972.
