50 Years Porsche 914 — (limited english edition)

by Jürgen Lewandowski
Edition Porsche Museum

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..
