1976 Porsche 912E Coupe
Revival of the 912 for the US market as an entry-level model, filling the gap between the discontinued 914 and the new 924. Featured updated fuel-injected 2.0L flat-4 from VW Type 4, producing 90 hp. Sources conflict on whether this was one-year-only (the widely-repeated consensus) or continued into 1977 (NICB's 1977/1978 editions: "912 Series (1977 -) From VIN 9127000001") — not resolved either way; this decoder has no 1977 912 entry regardless.
