The Porsche 912E Is The Future - 2
...This is a car that rarely breaks down and that you can rely on!The gas mileage is pretty darn impressive too! 38 MPG isn't uncommon even at higher speeds around the 75 MPH range. New it sold for around $4800. The 912E came with a 2056cc Type 4 engine that has 123 HP @ 6000 rpm and 135 Tq @ 3850 rpm. The compression ratio was 9.1:1 and it had a RAT custom camshaft with a split duration and lift. Johnson lifters were stock and the heads were 2.0 914, 44x36 valves. It had a direct fire ignition system with a modified type 4 cooling system and a Bursch 912E replacement with Turbo muffler. It came standard with 185/60/14 tires and a 5 speed transmission. The 912E may not be a power house but it is certainly adequately equipped for day to day driving and long highway trips. In fact for the money you'll have a hard time finding a more affordable level entry sports car. What better way to get all the great features of the 911 with the 4 cylinder engine of the 356. After all the 911 was way out of the budget of many a buyer. But the 912E certainly isn't. It's too bad that the market saw only one year of this gem. For those of you in the market for a vintage Porsche remember the Porsche 912E is an affordable alternative to the 911 and you should certainly consider it.
