« There wasn’t much difference between the Porsche 911 and the 912 except for one crucial feature: the engine. While the 911 enjoyed a new air-cooled flat six, the 912 employed the air-cooled flat four used for so many years in the 356 to make it more affordable than the 911. As a result, enthusiasts traditionally haven’t viewed the 912 in as favorable light as the 911. But in 2014, as noted by Frenchman Julien Borne in this Petrolicious video(link is external), the 912 is coming into its own. »

« Longtemps considérée comme le mouton noir de la gamme Porsche, la 912 a désormais sa revanche. Quelques événements familiaux ont conduit Julien Borne à faire le point sur sa propre vie et ses priorités. Un épisode de réflexion qui finalement l’a conduit vers une Porsche 912 de 1967 et une maison un peu défraichie en Ile de France.Julien Borne a ainsi concentré son énergie sur cette Porsche 912, une auto longtemps méprisée par les amateurs de Porsche, comme une petite sœur déshéritée de la 911. Pourtant, ce mouton noir commence à prendre sa revanche. Elle gagne le cœur de certaines et de certains pour son agilité et sa relative accessibilité. ‘La 912 est plus proche d’une voiture pour aller à un barbecue que d’une voiture pour aller au golf’, dit Julien Borne. ‘Ce n’est pas une voiture pour l’apparence, mais plus une voiture pour profiter de son agilité’. »Ce film de 7’15 produit par Petrolicious nous emmène dans l’univers de Julien Borne, aux portes de Paris, dans la plus belle représentation de la passion Porsche. Enjoy!

« With buyers concerned about the high price of the original Porsche 911, the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer responded with the release of the Porsche 912 back in 1965. The car looked virtually the same as the 911, but had the old flat 4-cylinder engine found in the earlier Porsche 356. Despite its obvious weight advantages over the 911, the 912 has long been dismissed by rabid Porsche fans as an undesirable car – the “poor man’s 911” if you will. »

« If you haven’t looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. »

« Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents’ neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model’s stigma is wearing off. »

ONCE A BLACK SHEEP, THE PORSCHE 912 IS GETTING REVENGE

In 2012, Julien Borne’s father died suddenly. This event – in tandem with the birth of his daughter – caused Borne to pause and take stock of his own life and priorities, an episode of reflection that ultimately led him to a sad-looking 1967 Porsche 912 and a dilapidated house in the French countryside.

Borne had been racing in the French Supermoto series for years, so he was no stranger to risk but his decision to move into his grandparent’s long-vacant farmhouse in a village on the outskirts of Paris and devote himself to rebuilding classic Porsches nevertheless required a new level of gumption on his part.
