Introduced in 1965 to undercut the 911 and to take up the market held by the just discontinued 356, the 4cylinder 1582cc 912 actually outsold its 1991cc sibling. This cheaper 4-cylinder Porsche secured the brand in the market place and sold 30,000 units in 5years. The 912 could be ordered as a coupe or as a Targa. Porsche 912s were sold from 1965-69, mostly using the original short wheelbase 911 body until the last year of production when the LWB flaired arch body was used. In 1976 a limited run of about 2000 912E cars were sold using a 2-litre fuel-injected engine from the outgoing Porsche 914.
