[GH85Carrera]

For the true Porsche lovers, the type 914 was not seen as a true car. When VW and Porsche decided to join forces to build a sportscar, they wanted a car that did not look like any existing model from both manufacturers. So it could not be a 911 or a Karmann-Ghia.
At the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1969 the car was presented to the public. The VW-Porsche 914/4, a mid-engined, Targa-top sports car was assembled by Karmann of Osnabruck. It used the 1,679cc, four-cylinder, 80 bhp air-cooled motor of the Volkswagen 411, four-wheel disc brakes and a five-speed gearbox. It was a commercial success.
The 914/6 was a true Porsche produced at the Zuffenhausen factory on the 911 production line. This car was powered by the Porsche 911T’s 2.0-litre six, 110 bhp and two Weber carburetors.
