Interior improvements
The seats were swapped for sport style-seats with houndstooth upholstery, and the rear seats were reupholstered to match. A custom Momo steering wheel was fitted as well.
The Result
While the foundation of this car remains true to its 912 roots, the build embraces thoughtful upgrades that elevate performance without compromising character. The result is a 912 that produces power on par with period 911s, giving the car a livelier, more spirited feel behind the wheel. Subtle interior refinements and tasteful engine modifications complete the build.
