Porsche 914 /6 2.4L (1975) – 165hp – 1 of 3 1975

The Porsche 914 was a sports car produced jointly by Porsche and Volkswagen from 1969 to 1976. The car was designed to replace the Porsche 912 and the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and was intended to be a more affordable entry-level sports car for both brands.

The Porsche 914 was initially marketed as a Volkswagen-Porsche, and was sold through both Volkswagen and Porsche dealerships. However, as the car evolved, Porsche became increasingly involved in its development, and by the time production ended in 1976, the car was widely regarded as a genuine Porsche.

The Porsche 914 was available with a range of four-cylinder engines, including a 1.7-liter, a 1.8-liter, and a 2.0-liter engine, as well as a six-cylinder engine in the Porsche 914/6 model. The car featured a mid-engine layout, which helped to improve handling and balance, and was available with a range of transmissions, including a five-speed manual and a three-speed automatic.

Despite its initial reputation as a VW-Porsche hybrid, the Porsche 914 is now widely regarded as a unique and important part of Porsche's history. It was the first Porsche to feature a mid-engine layout, and its design and engineering helped to pave the way for other less iconic Porsche models, such as the Porsche Boxster.
