1968 Porsche 912 by John Benton

John Benton's 1968 Porsche 912, known as 'Mein12', pays homage to the underdog spirit with its classic race-inspired aesthetics. The white coupe features a Benton Performance 1.7L twin-spark engine, period-correct decals, and driving lights reminiscent of the 1968 LeMans contender. Its nostalgic nods are complemented by modern performance enhancements, making it a standout among the more dominant 911s.
