Background

The 914 was developed jointly by Porsche and Volkswagen as a two-seat car with its engine mounted ahead of the rear axle and a removable fibreglass roof panel that could be stored in the rear luggage compartment. Karmann built the bodies. In Europe the four-cylinder car was sold as the VW-Porsche, while in North America both versions were sold as Porsches.

The four-cylinder 914 used a Volkswagen Type 4 flat-four with Bosch electronic fuel injection, of 1.7 litres at first and 1.8 litres for 1974 and 1975. A 2.0-litre four was added for 1973. The gearbox was a five-speed manual derived from the 911’s.

The 914/6, built from 1970 to 1972, used the 2.0-litre flat-six of the 911T and was assembled by Porsche. The 1974 Limited Edition, offered in North America, was finished in black with yellow trim or in cream with red trim. For 1976, the final US year, only the 2.0-litre car was offered.
