  Over
the years privateers have created aesthetic and mechanical variations of
the 912. Maybe you'd like a 912 speedster.
Or a "912EV", an electric motor powered 912, with batteries in place of
the fuel tank and also in the former engine / now motor bay.(click for
story text and video). Or with new fenders and winged engine lid, 912s can
look like the the slant-nose or 930 Turbo®. Some have chopped the
top. Some have removed the 912 Targa® roll bar and added the
Cabriolet top. At least one 912 dragster exists. Owners have
modified the 912's engine with aftermarket big-bore pistons and
cylinders up to 1.9L,
special crankshafts, modified electrical systems, twin-plug ignitions,
different carburetion, extra oil coolers, turbo and exhaust systems
resulting in significant horsepower boosts. Mechanical swaps have
included replacing the factory 1.6L engine with 911, 914, turbo, rotary,
and even small-block Chevy V8 engines. A one-of-a-kind 912R
racecar exists, and one 912E has a engine so modified you could call it
a 912S. A 912 was transformed into a 993 racecar, eventually
winning against turbocharged competitors in the 1999 Tribute to Le Mans.
