By Chief Editor | 3/1/2026
Porsche has launched a global celebration for the 60th anniversary of its 912 model, featuring exclusive events in Tokyo, California, and Provence. The anniversary includes collaborations with specialty manufacturers like KAMManufaktur's $400,000 anniversary edition and limited merchandise collections with Fast Saturday.
Key Points
- Only 32,000 original Porsche 912s were produced between 1965-1969, making them rarer than the 911
- KAMManufaktur created a special 912c 60th Edition carbon fiber restomod priced at €395,000
- The Global Reunion 2025 events spanned three continents, celebrating art-led automotive culture
## The Forgotten Classic Returns to Center Stage For six decades, the Porsche 912 has lived in the shadow of its more famous 911 sibling, despite being far more exclusive with just 32,000 examples produced between 1965-1969. Now, as the model celebrates its 60th anniversary, Porsche is orchestrating a global celebration that positions the 912 where it belongs: among the brand's most cherished classics. The Global Reunion 2025 took place across Europe, Asia, and the United States, with events spanning from the winding roads of Provence to mountain passes, art-filled villages, and legendary dinners surrounded by Porsches and chandeliers. The Instagram post by Porsche captures this perfectly: "Tokyo nights, California days and Provençal charm – where art and automotive culture met." ## Exclusive Anniversary Collaborations In celebrating sixty years of the Porsche 912, KAMM has created a very special 60th Edition 912c priced at €395,000. The ultra-lightweight KAMM 912c captures all the magic of the classic 1960s design, further enhanced by extensive use of in-house-developed carbon fiber to deliver a class-leading weight as low as 750kg, crafted in Budapest by passionate experts whose experience includes Singer, Koenigsegg, and Porsche Motorsport. Porsche has partnered with Fast Saturday, the bi-annual gathering known for bringing together passionate Porsche enthusiasts, to introduce a limited-edition capsule collection designed exclusively to honor the legacy of the beloved model. At the core of the collection is the revival of the "Marken Weltmeister" design—a graphic identity historically associated with Porsche's world championship achievements, with typography, visual language, and heritage-driven styling that recall an era when motorsport triumphs played a defining role in shaping the brand's global reputation. ## Racing Heritage Drives Modern Appeal Revealed at the New York Auto Show in 1965, the 912 was created to broaden Porsche's appeal with a model that bridged the gap between the outgoing 356 and the car that was to create a lasting legacy for Porsche, the 911, but for most of the past sixty years, the 912 has existed in the shadow of the more famous 911, though today it is held in very high regard by enthusiasts and collectors. The red variant of the anniversary edition pays homage to Polish driver Sobiesław Zasada, who secured overall victory in the 1967 European Rally Championship for Group 1 touring cars, while the yellow edition references multiple 912s that competed in Swedish rallies during the 1960s. ## Community and Culture at the Heart For Café Leather, joining this journey was more than a partnership—it was a meeting of values: authenticity, craftsmanship, and passion for detail, creating a commemorative keychain inspired by Porsche designs of the 60s and 70s as a symbol of what this community represents: connection, heritage, and craftsmanship. Fast Saturday's involvement ensures that the collaboration is rooted in authentic Porsche culture rather than exterior trend-driven design, as a gathering built by owners, for owners, its partnership brings an organic legitimacy that resonates with people who value community as much as craftsmanship. ## The Modern Collector's Perspective The 912c driver is likely having more fun in their car than someone in a GT3 RS, and it is far rarer than any new 911, even a GT3 RS, but regardless of all that, it is just nice to see that someone is giving the 912 the love that it deserves. If everything checks out, collectors will have themselves an iconic Porsche that is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025. The anniversary celebrations demonstrate how the 912 has evolved from an "entry-level" Porsche to a coveted piece of automotive history, finally receiving the recognition it has long deserved.
