1972 Porsche 911 E Soft Window TargaPorsche enthusiasts would receive another displacement increase when the 1972 Porsche 911 would increase its engine capacity to 2.4L. In the case of the 1972 Porsche 911E Soft Window Targa and Coupe models, this meant that power was increased to 165 horsepower. Technically speaking, to cause this change, Porsche increased the stroke from 66mm to 70.4mm and left the bore unchanged. Piston crowns were also lowered to reduce the compression ratio, thus allowing the car to run on low-octane fuel. This move was a necessity to meet new emissions requirements in the U.S. market, one of Porsche’s biggest. The 1972 Porsche 911E would also mark the release of the well-known 915 transmission which, although heavier, was said to be better suited to the car’s extra power. However, perhaps the most noticeable change to buyers was the new shifting pattern a traditional H gate pattern was now in place. These are just a few of the visual and mechanical cues that can alert you to the fact that you’re indeed looking at a 1972 Porsche 911E.
