Porsche 912 F (1968)

Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThe 912 is the 911’s little brother and offers true air-cooled boxer engine character. This California-based matching-numbers example underwent a comprehensive overhaul in 2018 and has seen very little use since then. Before sale, the Porsche will receive a fresh TÜV inspection and service. A well-maintained 912 like this one offers an exciting introduction to the world of classic Porsches. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking an authentic driving experience.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Die letzten Porsche 356 Coupés kosteten zwischen 14.950 (75 PS, 175 km/h) und 23.700 DM (130 PS, 200 km/h), der Porsche 911 (sechs Zylinder, 130 PS, 210 km/h) 21.900 DM. Zwischen September 1964 und März 1965 wurden 911 und 356 parallel gebaut. Ab April 1965 ersetzte der Porsche 912 die schwächeren 1,6-Liter-356. Dieser Wagen hatte einen modifizierten Vierzylindermotor aus dem Porsche 356 SC im Heck, der 66 kW (90 PS) leistete. Die Leistung des Motors fiel im 912 etwas geringer aus, im Gegenzug verbesserte sich die Elastizität des Triebwerks erheblich, das maximale Drehmoment lag nun bereits bei 3500/min an. Eine zusätzliche Verbesserung war das wahlweise angebotene Fünfganggetriebe (Aufpreis 340,00 DM). Großvolumige Ansauggeräuschdämpfer verringerten das Motorgeräusch. LG Tom
