Given the type 914 designation, the targa-topped roadster was designed over the autumn of 1966. The design group was led by Heinrich Klie and Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. Ferdinand Piëch, as the head of development at Porsche, was also the 914-project leader. On March 1, 1968, the first 914/4 prototype was driven. The car had the flat-four engine mounted in front of the rear axle. The mid-engine layout meant the 914 could achieve higher cornering G-forces than the 911.Documentation includes the spiralbound owner’s manual and maintenance record, a binder of recent photos, copies of title and miscellaneous vehicle documents and starting instructions.Competition to this Porsche in 1974 included Datsun’s 240Z, Fiat’s X1/9 and Opel’s GT.Porsche fans, German car fans and those simply wanting a simple runabout, you owe it to yourself to stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to check out this Porsche 914.VIN: 4742918546Body#: 2049568This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
