Porsche 912
The Porsche 912 was a sports car manufactured by Porsche of Germany 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 30 mpg–U.S. (7.84 L/100 km / 36 mpg–imp) 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.
