History of the 1975 Porsche 911S
The Evolution of a Legend
The 1975 911S was part of the “Impact Bumper” era, a period when US safety regulations forced automakers to incorporate larger bumpers. Porsche, known for its elegant and aerodynamic designs, gracefully integrated these bumpers, though some purists found them aesthetically challenging.
Engine Refinement & Performance
Under the hood, the 911S boasted a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, an evolution of the previous year’s powerplant. This engine, while adhering to emissions regulations, still delivered impressive performance. The 911S continued to be renowned for its exceptional handling and driving dynamics, a hallmark of the Porsche 911 lineage.

The 911 G-Series: A New Era for Porsche
For model year 1974, the body design of the Porsche 911 was comprehensively redesigned for the first time. The most striking feature of this 911 generation is the raised bumper design with black plastic bellows. Between the tail lights of the G models is a red panel and a Porsche logo that is red or black, depending on the model year.
The raised bumpers with bellows were a result of stricter US regulations, requiring bumpers to absorb impacts up to 5 mph (8 km/h) without damage to the body. Vehicles for the US market had bumpers connected to the body using hydraulic impact absorbers.
