Racing 912s

Designed for long-distance reliable performance in extreme weather and road conditions, the 912 naturally excelled in professional rally racing.  Factory Rally Kits included anti-roll bars, racing brake pads, and a dead pedal rest.  In 1967 the 912 played a part in Porsche rally history that should not be forgotten, when independent driver Sobieslaw Zasada of Poland drove a 912 to win the European Rally Championship for series touring cars.  That year, Zasada and his 912 actually scored more points than the Monte Carlo winning, factory 911S driven by the driving team of Vic Elford and David Stone.  (View Zasada's website and look for his 912)

Today, 912/ 912E competition cars appear in vintage races, autocross, rally events, an occasional hillclimb.  Check out the latest YouTube(TM) 912 videos, and if you have a high-speed connection, select the 720p HD option, expand the image to full screen, crank up the sound, and enjoy!

That 912 endurance still translates into grand touring today.  In the longest 912 trip known to date, Max Levell completed an eighteen-country 2010 drive from London to Saigon in a 1966 912, raising donations for the Mines Advisory Group charity.
