Product description
A little bit Porsche, a little bit Volkswagen, the 914, launched in 1969, this was a model that wrote an important chapter in the company history. Was it a poor man’s Porsche or a rich man’s Volkswagen? In reality, neither one nor the other as the 914 story involves an intelligent project, conceived to produce a technologically advanced sports car at a price accessible to a broad clientele, exploiting the synergies with the mass manufacturer and historic partner of the Stuttgart firm, Volkswagen. The 914 still today boasts timeless lines cloaking a mechanical layout that had always fascinated Ferdinand Porsche.
Providing an extensive historical overview and photographic identification guide to the various models, enriched with detailed technical files, the book maps the career of the relatively short-lived little sports car from Stuttgart which has now established a place in the hearts of enthusiasts and collectors alike.
