The 1972 Porsche 911 S Targa 2.4 is a sports model of the 911's E and F series manufactured by Porsche for the 1972 and 1973 model years.
It is powered by an air-cooled, flat-six engine with 2.341 cc displacement, although marketed as a 2.4-litre car. The new engine increased power and torque, and as such the 911 S 2.4 received a new, stronger transmission based on the transmission used in the Porsche 908 race car.
Offered in Targa and Coupé variants, the 911 S 2.4 was the first 911 S to be equipped with mechanical fuel injection, and is visually identifiable by having a front spoiler.
