In 1969 a very special sports car was born.
The 914 rose from a marriage of convenience of Volkswagen and Porsche, because both companies wanted a small, modern and affordable sports car in their product range, but for little costs.
Thus it was decided to combine the skills of both manufacturers.
The result was a light mid-engine sports car with a lively road performance and even 50 years after its launch, it pleases the eye with a fresh design.
Back then it was often ridiculed as a „housewife Porsche“ or „Volks-Porsche“, but by now the 914 has come out of the shadow of its big brother 911 and has a huge fan base.
Until today it lives on in the Boxster and Cayman models.
In this volume:
- the result of thorough research in the Porsche and VW archives
- richly illustrated
- all technical data
- development, production, model history and racing appearances
