PORSCHE 912 O Porsche 912 é um carro esportivo fabricado como modelo de entrada na Alemanha entre 1965 e 1969.

It looks like a 911, yes, but this is a #Porsche912E - a combination of the 911 shell and the 914’s 2.0L flat four. With just 2,099 made (owner Ron says this Peru Red car is #909), it’s car known mostly to Porschephiles, but that’s in part because the 912E was a stopgap model, never meant to be a long-term offering from Stuttgart; and indeed, it was offered for just one model year - 1976, and in just one market - the U.S. - The original 1965-69 912 combined the 911’s newer shell with the 356C’s four and a little less content than the newer, much pricier flat-six 911, which Porsche feared would price out some 356 customers. A decent seller, the 912 was still pricey for what it was - it cost more than a Corvette in 1967. The way forward for a lower-priced Porsche was the VW-Porsche 914, the development and marketing of which was a rollercoaster of drama between the two, though the 914 did replace the 912 in 1969. When it came time to replace the 914, the drama repeated, if for different reasons. 914 production ended in December, 1975, and U.S. market 924s would not be ready until April, 1977 (Euro 924s were ready in Feb. of ’76), leaving a big gap in U.S. Porsche stores, despite an extra run of “1976” 914s. - The solution? Bring back the 912 to fill the gap - just for a little while. Philosophically, this 912 wasn’t so different from the original. Where the departed 356C’s engine was used in the 912, the 90-hp 2.0L flat four from the outgoing 914 was used in the 912E. The E was for “Einspritzung,” denoting the engine’s Bosche L-Jetronic fuel injection. The 912E was quite a bit more expensive than the 914 but $3K less than a 911. It wasn’t nearly as fast as 911, but it was an excellent car. It had all of the 911’s virtues (quality, comfort, handling, style), but was also far less tail-happy, got great gas mileage (it has a 600 mile range), and cost far less to maintain. - Of course, it wasn’t meant to last. Porsche’s last air-cooled 4-cyl, the car was put out to pasture around the time U.S.-spec 924s began to roll off the line, just as intended. The practical nature and rarity of the 912E means a high survival rate and that many have been exported to the EU.

Started the ride by crossing paths with the 912 #renegademountainbiker #gnarlycrew #coolcar #porsche912e

Riders on the storm. #PlymouthBarracuda #Porsche912E . . . That rain is going to be snow in about 10 Miles.

Ordered up a pair of @burschexhaust megaphones from @sierramadrecollection for the #ProjectMelloYello. It’s going to be hella loud. Now I just need to find someone to custom fab a pair of two-into-one manifolds to fit. @drivingwhileawesome #CoastalRangeRallyPrep #CRR2018 #Porsche912E (at Sparks, Nevada)
