356: it's not part of the "9" naming convention?

944 is the only one without a flat motor?

944. Front engine. Not flat.

Also, 914 is only mid-engine Porsche in that line-up.

914 is a two seater. The other have "back seats". Sort of.

I thought of the mid-engine thing too, but since the 944 was the only front-engine, that'd make it just as likely to not belong.

A 914 is the only one that came from the factory with two different #s of Cylinders, the 4 and the 6.
912s were a different designation from 911, though it was about the same thing. 911 was the only one that ever had SportOMatic.

944, the only one with a timing belt. Pop up lights too, along with the other other responses.

The 914 is actually a VW.
