The Porsche 914 is the result of a collaboration between Porsche and Volkswagen that began in the late 1960s. Porsche hoped to boost its sales with a more affordable alternative, but also to produce a new kind of car based on the principle of its 904 racing car. The two manufacturers agreed on a two-seater roadster with a rear-mounted mid-engine for a high-performance, innovative car. The uniquely designed car features retractable headlamps and the model’s distinctive removable roof, which fits into the rear boot compartment. It is available in 4- and 6-cylinder versions, with power ratings ranging from 80 to 110 hp. The model was a great success in the United States, but struggled to make an impact in Europe. Only 3,333 examples of the 6-cylinder 914-6 were produced, making it the most sought-after version among collectors.
