Porsche 912

The Porsche 912 is a sports car produced by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, for the 1965 through 1969 model years. An entry-level variant of the 911, it was also offered in compact 2+2 Coupé and Targa body styles. The 912 was fitted with a 1. 6-liter air cooled flat-4 from the last of the 356s, slightly detuned to 102 SAE horsepower at 5800 rpm, and with a slightly lower rear weight bias, was known for its nimble, balanced handling. The 912's high-efficiency boxer engine, low drag, and low weight allow it to get up to 30 miles per US gallon. Initially priced at US$4,700 , more than 32,000 912s were built from April 1965 to July 1969. Sales of the 912 initially outpaced the 911 , boosting the manufacturer's total production until success of the 911 was assured....
