From 1969, the new model that in 1963 had taken its place at the top of the Porsche's range (a step higher than the 356 with which the company's adventure began in 1948) was also offered in the sporty E and S versions with a new 2.2-litre engine. In the raunchier Super variant, the air-cooled six-cylinder boxer, powered by a new mechanical injection system, reaches the power output of 180 hp: a full 55 compared to the "base" 911 T 2.2. The engine benefits from numerous modifications, including larger valves, new connecting rods and new manifolds, as well as all-new forged pistons. Other interventions are expressly aimed at lightening the car: the most important - and contributing to a weight loss of about 60 kg - consist of a new aluminium-magnesium alloy monoblock and the light alloy construction of some body parts. The five-speed transmission is sporty, with first gear in the lower left, while the clutch is reinforced with an oversized disc.
