S (1969 to 1973)

At the top of the long-wheelbase early 911 range sat the Porsche 911 S (LWB), produced from 1969 to 1973 and developed as the highest-performance road-going 911 of its era. Benefiting from the longer wheelbase introduced in 1969, the 911 S combined improved high-speed stability with uprated suspension, stronger brakes, higher-revving air-cooled flat-six engines, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection, delivering a more focused and motorsport-inspired driving experience than the T and E models below it. Available in 2.0-, 2.2-, and ultimately 2.4-litre form, the LWB S helped cement the 911’s reputation as a genuine performance benchmark heading into the 1970s and laid the groundwork for later RS and competition variants. In the Australian market, LWB 911 S examples are rare and tightly held, with most cars imported, and strong demand driven by their performance pedigree, limited production, and historical importance. Values are shaped by engine size, year, originality, matching numbers, and condition, with correctly restored and well-documented cars commanding significant premiums as collector interest in top-tier early 911s continues to strengthen.
