Porsche 911 S

The vehicle in detail

In 1972, a good deal was done to improve the 911’s handling. Due to the 911’s rear engine, with the majority of the weight concentrated over the rear axle, early 911 models tended to oversteer. In an attempt to rectify this, the oil tank was relocated from behind the right rear wheel to the front of it. This relocated almost 8.5 kg of oil to within the rear axle, improving weight distribution and, thus, handling.

The 911 S models were given a discrete spoiler under the front bumper to improve high-speed stability.  Weighing a mere 1050 kg, this 911 model is often considered the best, classic 911.
