Porsche 912E

1976 was the only year when Porsche manufactured a model similar to the 911. Called the 912e, this sports car was specially designed and rated for those who could not afford the 911. The letter 'e' in the 912e stood for 'Einspritzung', which means 'fuel injection' in German. The 912e is powered by a 1971 engine producing about 86 BHP at 4900 RPM. The air-cooled engine is installed with four cylinders and eight valves. The bore x stroke ratio is 94.00 x 71.00 mm, whereas the compression ration of this sports car is 8.00:1. The broad wheelbase of 2272 mm gives a sturdy ride on rough terrain. The Porsche 912e can zoom from 0 to 60 mph in just about 13.00 seconds, and can reach the top speed of 185 Km/h. The single overhead camshaft allows smooth flow of the fuel, thus, making for smooth rides. The two-door sports car is equipped with the 4-speed manual transmission which gives steady control over the car while changing the speed. The total curb weight of the 912e is 1086 kgs, whereas its dimensions measure 4293 mm in length, 1610 mm in width, and 1341 mm in height. The Porsche 912e models featured as European police cars in the movie 'Spy Game', starring Brad Pitt and Robert Redford. The maker of the car, Porsche AG, was established in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche. The company manufactures automobiles; however, it is more known for its sports cars. Today, the company is located at Zuffenhausen, in the district of Stuttgart, Germany.
