At least not by Porsche.


EDIT , Byron mentions sportomatic, but they are not automatics at all.
They still require shifting. But I'll admit , never heard of Sporto 914's before.

Was that even by Porsche or did somebody in the US convert a regular 914 with a 911 Sporto matic gearbox?? because it's not even in PET.
If you look at the Factory workshop repair manual for the 914. The transmission section has a complete write up on the R&R of the sportomatic unit. They thought hard about making it. Evidently they made a few prototypes and then pulled the plug. So since it was never sold as a production car, no spare parts were made. No PET listing.
