Porsche 911 2.2 S
If Steve McQueen, ‘The King of Cool,’ chose to open his racing film ‘Le Mans' behind the wheel of his slate gray Porsche 2.2 S, driving through the French countryside to the circuit, there was a reason.
The Teutonic house of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen had forged, once and for all, the icon of the ultimate sports car: the 911 as we know it today. From sophisticated bankers to playboys, the 2.2 S was at home. Perfect for commuting to the office, taking a Sunday drive, hitting the track, or parking in front of the club.

From 1969 to 1971, the new 2.2-liter engine brought a refreshing change. With the larger displacement flat-six and mechanical fuel injection (MFI), the 2.2 S delivered 180 horsepower, about 20 horsepower more than its predecessor, allowing it to reach a top speed of 230 km/h, with improved weight distribution but also increased overall stability and handling.
The Porsche 911 2.2 S was among the first production Porsches to feature the iconic Fuchs wheels. Designed in collaboration with Otto Fuchs KG, these forged aluminum alloy wheels were revolutionary, significantly reducing unsprung weight while maintaining exceptional strength and durability. Their distinctive five-spoke design became a defining visual element of the 911 lineage.
Combining daily use with track performance, the 911 was prized by racers for any event. And by any event, we mean absolutely everything: from the most famous motor racing circuits to the most treacherous rallies. Among the success, Björn Waldegård, who piloted a 911 2.2 S, won in the 1969 Monte Carlo Rally, with another win in the 1970 Scandinavian Cup.

Delivered new to Porsche distributor Raffay in Hamburg on October 21, 1970, this Porsche 911 2.2 S has enjoyed a well-documented history across several distinguished German cities, including Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, and Traunstein, before landing in Sweden.
Thanks to a meticulous restoration performed a decade ago, the car is in perfect condition in every respect. The bodywork wears its rare, factory-correct ‘Grünmetallic’ (code 8383).
Inside, the cabin has been fully restored with seats upholstered in black leatherette and the rare Pepita cloth. Mechanically, every component was carefully examined, with the 2,195cc air-cooled flat-six engine and dog-leg 5-speed gearbox rebuilt to offer reliability. The Fuchs wheels, designed in collaboration with Otto Fuchs KG, remain a defining feature, contributing to the car’s lightweight handling dynamics. Further enhancing its period-correct authenticity, the car retains its original jack, tool kit, and is Porsche Classic certified.
