1972 Porsche 911S Targa Review: The ultimate Sunday drive car?
It’s no secret these days that air-cooled Porsche 911 models are among some of the finest driver’s cars ever produced, and the 1972 911S Targa freelance journalist Patrick Jackson took for a spin is no exception.
This car – one of many classic, sports, and luxury cars currently for sale here at Richmonds – is a prime example of the breed. California-kept until the 1990s when it was imported into Australia, it may have since had the steering wheel swapped to the correct side and been given a slick new coat of red paint and a fresh interior to boot, but it’s still numbers-matching with the original 2.4-litre fuel-injected flat-six continuing to power it today.
While 140kW and 216Nm aren’t exactly earth-shattering outputs by today’s standards, its 0-100km/h time of 6.4 seconds is more telling of this 911’s true story. Diminutive proportions and a low kerb weight not only help it feel light on its feet, but it also helps it feel quicker than similarly powerful cars of today that are bigger and heavier.
