Ergonomics problems from back then that have practically vanished into thin air
In January 1972, Automobil Revue published a test reporton the Porsche 911 S. Although the overall ergonomics and practicality of the 911 interior were praised, there was also one criticism: "... the fingers hitting the extended ashtray when engaging first and third gear."
It is hard to imagine that this could still bother a 911 S owner today. Firstly, far fewer people smoke in cars in general, and secondly, hardly anyone who owns a Porsche 911 S, which has now become a valuable car, will want to light a cigarette in a classic (there are always exceptions).
So this operating problem has practically disappeared into thin air, while other weaknesses, which the 911 S certainly also had, have remained.
You can read more about this in our recently published vehicle report on the Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa .
