I had always assumed that the type 4 was also used in the 912. However it seems that they used a polo motor instead. It actually looks like a 6 cylinder less 2 cylinders.
Has anyone used one of these in a 914? Any more power to be gained? Advantages & disadvantages? Thanks DAvid |

Yes, but the entire 912 philosophy (don't tell them the factory was just using up the leftover engine supply) is a lighter, more nimble car with better balance.
A six would ruin the entire 912 mystique. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
