Porsche 912

Friday 31 July 2009
The Porsche 912 was a sports car manufactured between 1965 and 1969 as their entry-level model. The 912 was a nimble-handling compact performance four-seat vehicle, delivering 90 SAE horsepower at 5800 rpm. The 912 was also capable of up to 7.8 L/100 km fuel economy. This combination was possible because of a high-efficiency petrol engine, low weight, and low drag. A variant of the Type 911, one of the most famous and successful sports cars of all time, the Type 912 initially outsold the 911, boosting the manufacturer's total production until success of the 911 was assured.
The replica is comes out of Altaya's Porsche collection. It was purchased in Portugal in one of the kiosks and represents decent quality.
