After WW2, the company finally began producing its own automobiles, starting with the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/356/">Porsche 356</a> in 1948. Since the creation of the 356, Porsche has always had a focus on producing sporty, high performance cars.

The 911&#39;s design has evolved over the years, yet the general styling of the car has remained unchanged, with its trademark teardrop shape noticeable through all variants. With a production run of over 50 years, the 911 counts some of the motoring world&#39;s most well known models amongst its history. Cars such as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/carrera-rs/">Carrera RS</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/930/">930 Turbo</a>, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/993/gt2/">993 GT2</a>&nbsp;feature amongst some of the storied variants that mark the history of the 911.

Porsche 911S - All Variants

In late 1966 Porsche introduced a more powerful variant of the 911 called the 911S (S = Super).&nbsp;During it&#39;s production years&nbsp;it received several upgrades, most notably in the form of larger engine displacement. First launched with a <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/20/">2.0 Liter engine</a>, it evolved for <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/20-1969/">1969 with a longer wheelbase</a>,&nbsp;followed by the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/22/">2.2L for model year 1970</a>, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/24/">2.4L in&nbsp;1972</a>, and finally a <a href="http://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/27/">2.7 Liter engine for model year&nbsp;1974</a>. The 1973 2.4L variant&nbsp;represented the final iteration of the model with non-impact bumpers. Note that many of the samples in these markets have undergone engine modifications. The 911S was phased out with the introduction of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/sc/">Porsche 911 SC</a> for model year 1978.&nbsp;

Porsche 911S 2.4L

The Porsche 911S&nbsp;was the top of the line 911 model for 1972 and through 1973 until the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/carrera-rs/">Carrera RS 2.7</a> was introduced. The 911S sat above&nbsp;the contemporaneous&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/t/24/">2.4L 911T</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/e/24/">2.4L 911E</a>. As with the T and E&nbsp;variants, Porsche would upgrade the 911S&nbsp;to a new, larger 2,341 cc (2.3 L) engine, commonly known as the &quot;2.4 L&quot; engine. The engine version on the 911S, Type 911/53,&nbsp;was rated at 190&nbsp;hp and featured mechanical fuel injection (the version with Sportomatic was Type 911/63). With the power and torque increase, the 2.4-liter cars also got the newer and stronger transmission, identified as the 915 gearbox. It was produced as&nbsp;both a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/24/coupe/">2.4L 911S Coupe</a>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/24/targa/">2.4L 911S Targa</a>.&nbsp;Vehicles from this period that have undergone significant modifications can be found in the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/24/custom/">911S Custom (1972 to 1973)</a> market. The 2.4 liter 911S was replaced by the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/s/27/">2.7 liter 911S</a>&nbsp;for model year 1974.
