The Porsche 912 is a sports car automobile manufactured by Porsche GmbH of Germany between 1965 and 1969 as an entry-level model. It was intended to fill the price gap between the previous 356 model and the pricey new 911 flagship model as well as to broaden accesability to the brand. It shared the 911 bodyshell and chassis as well as some suspension and braking components, but was powered by essentially the same four-cylinder engine used in the 356 rather than the 911's "flat" six-cylinder powerplant. It substantially outsold the 911 during the first few years of production, primarily because of its pricepoint and the proven reliability of the 4-cylinder engine that powered it. It was replaced as the entry-level model by the 914 model in 1970. Yes its a 912, a survivor of the 60s. ... The Porsche logo. ...
