Porsche 911 S

1969 Porsche 911 S Targa in Golden Green for sale!

When we utter the word sports car, we immediately think of the icon the Porsche 911. The model that was created in America by a strict rule on cabriolets and contributed to Porsche’s success story. In the 60s it became impossible to export the cabriolet variants to one of their largest export markets, America, and this because of the safety. Porsche of course did not sit by and came shortly thereafter with the innovative and safer model: The Targa. By means of a steel rollbar (the well-known Targa bar) and a removable roof, the safety of a coupe and the driving pleasure of a cabriolet could be perfectly combined. It became a huge success, and the Targa is still one of the most sought after 911 models on the market today.

In 1967 Porsche came up with a new more powerful version of their 2.0-liter variant and thus the ‘S’ version was born which delivered a whopping 160 HP. If this wasn’t enough, they came up with the famous Gasoline Injection systems in 1969 which provided the 2.0S versions with 170HP. Only 614 of the 2.0S Targa versions left the factory, making this one of the most sought-after collectibles by true purists to this day.
