Porsche 914 background information
The Porsche 914 mid-engine targa roadster was developed jointly with Volkswagen, with four-cylinder versions originally intended to be sold under the Volkswagen brand and six-cylinder versions under the Porsche brand. However, after the death in April 1968 of the head of Volkswagen, Heinz Nordhof, who had good personal ties with the management of the partner company, the terms of cooperation were revised.
Sales of the open two-seater began in 1969. The base model had a four-cylinder boxer engine with electronic injection, which, with a volume of 1.7 liters, developed 80 hp. from. In European countries, this car was sold as the Volkswagen-Porsche 914/4. The version with a six-cylinder two-liter carburetor boxer (110 hp) was called the Porsche 914/6. In the American market, both modifications were known under the Porsche brand.
In 1973, instead of the previous two-liter engine, a new one was installed on the car, with fuel injection, developing 95 forces. At the same time, the indication of the number of cylinders disappeared from the model index, all cars received the designation “914”. And in 1974, the 1.7-liter engine was replaced by a 1.8-liter engine with 76 hp. from.
Production of the Porsche 914 roadster continued until 1976. A total of 119 thousand cars were made, of which only 3.3 thousand had six-cylinder engines.
