It would be chiefly responsible for Porsche winning the International Championship for Makes in 1970 and 1971. Power came from a new 4.5-liter air-cooled engine, a combination of two of Porsche’s 2.25L flat-6 engines used in previous racing cars. The ‘Type 912’ engine featured a 180° flat-12 cylinder layout, twin overhead camshafts driven from centrally mounted gears and twin spark plugs fed from two distributors. the original 4.5-liter engine, which had produced around 520 bhp in 1969, had been enlarged from 4.9 liters (600 bhp) to 5 liters and produced a maximum of 630 bhp.

These state-of-the-art machines successfully competed against prototype sports racing cars during the 1974 racing season and were instrumental in the development of subsequent turbocharged 911 racing cars.
