The Fuel Injected 912E (AKA Type 923 or the "356E")
By the end of 912E
production, the factory had produced
2092, delivered primarily to North America. The 2099th and final 912E constructed also became the last air-cooled
four-cylinder car produced by Porsche. Read postings from the 912E Section of the 912 Bulletin Board> |

In the Autumn of 1975 the 912E, internally designated at the factory as
the Type 923, became the companion to the 911S. Primarily sold in
North America, rising fuel prices and
lowered U.S. speed limits helped make the 912E a practical model.
Production of the 914/4 had just ended, and the water-cooled
four-cylinder 924s had not yet arrived. The 912E was powered by the 2.0
liter fuel-injected 914-derived engine, and was offered in the 911 coupe
coupe body style.
Options
included electric sunroof, limited slip, and air conditioning.
With its 21 U.S. gallon fuel tank and fuel-efficient engine, the 912E's
driving range may be the best of any Porsche ever made, 600+ miles.
