Buying a 1970 Porsche 911E

The 1970 Porsche 911E would be considered part of the Porsche 911 C-Series, which would also see the model’s first increase in engine capacity from 1,991cc to 2,199cc commonly referred to as the 2.2L. The increase was achieved by increasing the cylinder bores from 80mm to 84mm. Other improvements were made to the engine during this time, including revised cylinder heads with larger valves and stronger connecting rods. The 1970 Porsche 911E, which ran alongside a 911T and 911S, could now offer 155 horsepower and an official top speed of 137mph. Most importantly, however, the torque increased and the torque curve was flatter, meaning the engine was more flexible and the car was easier to drive. Additionally, in an effort to reduce weight, the 1970 Porsche 911E was given aluminum central bumper sections and an engine compartment cover of the same material. To help with rust problems, the body itself was given a PVC seal. The base price for the 911E Coupe would fall in the $7,800 range. It is estimated that approximately 4,927 models of the C-Series 911E were manufactured.
