Buying a 1972 Porsche 911

1972 Porsche 911The 1970's Porsche 911's became quicker than the previous early models thanks to a larger bore that upped displacement to 2,165cc. Compression ratios stayed relatively the same, but horsepower and torque were higher across the board. To compensate, clutch diameter was also increased. Considered part of the E-Series, the 1972 Porsche 911 offered further increases in both displacement and wheelbase. The extra displacement came from Porsche’s desire to maintain performance among the increasing U.S. emission standards. California, one of the largest markets for the Porsche 911, was still requiring lower pollutant levels than other states and mandated that all cars be operable on low-lead 91-octane gasoline beginning with model-year 1972. Automakers in Detroit responded by lowering compression and thus performance, while European producers went to different pistons and heads. Porsche also lowered compression in the 1972 911, but the greater displacement more than offset that. All three engines showed output gains, so performance scarcely suffered.
