The Porsche 911L (Lux) was introduced in model year 1968 in both Europe and the United States in coupe and targa variants. In Europe, where it was considered the midrange model between the new entry-level 1968 911T and the 1968 911S, it featured engine Type 901/06 (Type 901/07 with Sportomatic) rated at 130 hp. In North America, where the 911S was not available for 1968, the 911L was the highest level offering, although sharing engine Type 901/14 (Type 901/17 with Sportomatic) with the 1968 base model 911, also rated at 130 hp. Approximately 1,610 samples were produced in total, of which 1,169 were coupes, and 441 were Targas. For the 1969 model year, the 911L would cease to exist, paving the way for a new mid-tier offering in Europe and the US, the 1969 911E, and for the higher-end 1969 911S in North America.
