History
In September of 1969 Porsche delivered the new 2.2-lirt C-Series
Model 911 for the 1970 model year. All three versions of the
series, the 911T, 911E, and 911S were available in either Coupe or
Targa. The entry-level model was the 911T with 125hp, the 911E was
155hp and the flagship model, the 911S was an impressive 180hp.
The front-strut mounting points in the C-Series models were moved
slightly forward in order to lighten steering and reduce kickback
for better handling. The steel engine covers on the E and S
versions were replaced with aluminum to shave weight. The T version
finally received ventilated disc brakes, but to keep costs down
they were iron as opposed to the lighter alloy calipers used on the
more expensive E and S. The only other significant change for 1970
was an anti-corrosion coating for the chassis.
