Porsche 912

The Porsche 912 reaches 60 mph in 11.85 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.74 s, tripping the lights at 76.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.29 s and the eighth mile in 12.32 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 912

The 1965 Porsche 912 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 965 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 92 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.29 s. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,927th quickest to 60 mph, and the 279th quickest of the 279 Porsches here. Its 76.4 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

What is the Porsche 912 quarter mile time?
18.74 s at 76.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.32 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.29 s.
How much power does the Porsche 912 have?
89 bhp and 965 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 192 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Porsche 912?
Closest here on pace: Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow (11.06 s), Nsu Ro80 (12.93 s), Suzuki Swift 1.2 Dualjet (10.85 s). Each one can be raced against the Porsche 912 in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Porsche 912 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
