Selling a 1968 Porsche 911 S Coupe

 

Having spent the more than seventeen years of its life manufacturing the Porsche 356, by the mid 1960s Porsche enthusiasts were ready for something new; something to excite their senses. While Porsche had released the 356 Carrera briefly, it was no answer for mass-production and growing demand in the American market. Enter the Porsche 911. First developed under the internal type number “901,” the Porsche 911 was evolutionary of the 356, but gave buyers better visibility, a more comfortable cabin and a new 2.0L flat six-cylinder engine that was capable of producing 40 more horsepower than its Porsche 356 predecessor. Porsche would take it even a step further by offering the 1968 Porsche 911 S Coupe, which would bring increase power to 180hp via a combination of special tuning. Due to strict safety and emissions standards that were being released in America, the 1968 Porsche 911 S was only offered to the European market during this year. I would return to the market the following year.
