Porsche 914/6

The development of the Porsche 914 was a joint effort by Porsche and Volkswagen and, from the model year 1970, the vehicle was the new entry-level Porsche model.

The two-seater, also known as the VW-Porsche, was a mid-engine sports car with striking design features including a wheelbase that was very long in proportion to the vehicle's length, short overhangs, a removable mid-section of the roof, which was made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic, and a wide safety bar. The 914 also featured pop-up headlights.

At its launch, the 914 was available with two engines.
The 914 featured a 1.7-litre four-cylinder Volkswagen boxer engine delivering 80 PS
The 914/6 had a 2.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine from the Porsche 911 T with 110 PS

In the six-cylinder models, the ignition lock was on the left of the steering wheel, in true Porsche style. The wheels of the 914/6 were mounted with five wheel nuts.
Porsche built the 914/6 at its main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.
