History
There was a steady improvement that Porsche imparted on its
highest-performance sports car in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The wheelbase of the 911 had been extended by some 2.5 inches in
1969, providing better balance and handling, and with its engine
output now increased to a potent 180 horsepower, thanks to larger
valves and better breathing, a larger 225-millimeter clutch was
required. Interior fittings were upgraded as well, with a new
steering wheel lock and its instruments now mounted in rubber
rings. Externally, new door handles a safer design replaced the
earlier push-button type, and the cars were delivered with full
factory undercoating for the first time. Stopping power was
provided by 11.1-inch ventilated front and 11.4-inch ventilated
rear disc brakes, which proved more than enough for a 2,400-pound
car. It was also capable of accelerating 0 to 60 mph in just over
seven seconds & reaching a top speed of 144 mph. Few cars of its
day were capable of matching its exhilarating performance.
