As we have Boxster today, and there was 924 in 1976, 912 replaced 356 model, and was cheaper and "smaller" version of rather expensive 911. From 1965 through 1969, Porsche's 912 eased the transition between the 356 and the 911. Porsche factory announced the 912 in early April 1965. With the great aerodynamics, ergonomics, style, and quality of construction as a six-cylinder 911, the 912 had other advantages as well. Fans of the 356 appreciated the similarities to that model; for example a proven 356-based flat four-cylinder fuel-efficient motor delivering 64 SAE horsepower/ liter from behind the rear axle . With the flat-four, an early 912 weighs less than a standard 911 (960kg) of the same year, resulting in improved front-rear weight distribution.
