Model history
The Porsche 912 was built from 1965 to 1969 as the more affordable sibling of the 911. Equipped with the 1.6-liter four-cylinder boxer engine from the 356, it delivered 90 hp and offered a balanced mix of everyday practicality, reliability, and sporty driving dynamics. The coupé offered here dates from 1967 and belongs to the coveted SWB generation with a short wheelbase, which is valued for its particularly agile handling. With its clean lines and the purist character of the early 911s, the 912 SWB is now considered a sought-after collector's vehicle with high potential for appreciation in value.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Die letzten Porsche 356 Coupés kosteten zwischen 14.950 DM (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. Das Fahrwerk des 912 unterschied sich kaum von dem des 911. Dennoch war das Fahrverhalten gutmütiger bzw. die Neigung zum Übersteuern geringer als bei den ersten 911, weil der Wagen mit dem Vierzylindermotor weniger hecklastig war. Mit dem 912 sollten nicht zuletzt die Kunden bei Porsche gehalten werden, denen der 911 zu teuer war. Der Porsche 912 kostete bei der Markteinführung 16.250 DM und war damit 5650 DM günstiger als der 911. Auch der Benzinverbrauch lag mit 10 bis 12 Litern pro 100 Kilometer um einiges unter dem Verbrauch des 911. Porsche bot den 912 insgesamt vier Jahre an. LG Tom
