It has a 2.4-liter engine (though it is technically 2. Liters at 2341 cc) which provided more torque compared to its 2.2-liter predecessor. In the standard 911 hierarchy, the S model comfortably sits at the top, giving the highest level of equipment and also the most power as it is only 20 hp less compared to the iconic Carrera RS.

A notable difference in the 1972 models is the oil tank of the model which was placed behind the right rear wheel to in front of it. This positioning improved the weight problems. With a number of fuel station attendance accidentally putting gasoline in the oil sump so they had to add an oil filter flap in the right rear fender. In 1973, they placed it back to its original position and it has stayed there until the 964 arrived in 1989.
