   To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Porsche 911S (1966–2026), Lee and Andy embark on a comprehensive deep-dive into the history, engineering, and cultural impact of Porsche’s quintessential performance model. From its humble origins as a 160hp high-revving 2.0-litre screamer to today’s twin-turbocharged 992 Carrera S, we trace the complete timeline of the badge that defined everyday supercar usability.

   Has the significance of the "S" badge diminished in an era dominated by GT3s, Turbos, and GTS models, or does the Carrera S remain the absolute sweet spot of the 911 lineup?

   Special Guest Expert Panel:

   The Air-Cooled Era: Adrian Crawford from Williams Crawford Passion for Porsche joins us to break down the golden age of air-cooled 911S models—from the original F-Model 2.0S, 2.2S, and 2.4S through to the iconic Carrera 2.7S and 2.8 RSR heritage.

   QUICK FAQ: 60 YEARS OF THE PORSCHE 911S

   Q: When was the first Porsche 911S introduced? A: The Porsche 911S was first introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year as the first high-performance derivative of the original 911, producing 160 hp from its 2.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine.

   Q: What does the "S" stand for in Porsche 911S? A: The "S" in Porsche 911S stands for "Sport." It designated upgraded engine performance, enhanced chassis components, vented disc brakes, and iconic Fuchs alloy wheels.

   Q: What is the difference between a Porsche Carrera and Carrera S? A: Historically and in modern water-cooled generations (997, 991, 992), the Carrera S offers larger engine displacement/higher horsepower, upgraded brakes, w…
