The 1973 Porsche 911E, which debuted in 1969 and sat between the entry-level 911T and the high-performance 911S, marked the beginning of fuel injection for the automaker's iconic, rear-engine sports car.

The “E” stood for Einspritzung — German for “injection”— which highlighted the Bosch mechanical fuel injection system on its 2.4L flat‑six engine. That technology helped produce 165 horsepower and 147 lb‑ft of torque, which flowed through a standard five‑speed manual gearbox to enable an eight-second 0–60 mph time, and a top speed of 136 mph.
