German edition.
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.
50 Jahre Porsche 914 includes: the result of thorough research in the Porsche and VW archives; rich photography; all technical data; development, production, model history and racing appearances.
Jürgen Lewandowski, one of the most renowned German motoring journalists, pays tribute to this milestone of brand history: the book presents the genesis as well as the different models and engines.
Edition Porsche Museum, in slipcase, limited to 914 numbered copies.
