Description

50 years of the Porsche 914 - by Jürgen Lewandowski

"The 911's little brother", "People's Porsche", "Housewives' Porsche" - the Porsche 914 had to put up with many inglorious nicknames when it first put a tyre on the road in 1969. 50 years later, these have become affectionate nicknames at best, as the offspring of the marriage of convenience between Porsche and VW has long since driven its way into the hearts of its fans.

Jürgen Lewandowski, one of Germany's most renowned motoring journalists, has chronicled the history of this special sports car, which began in the late 1960s with a handshake between Ferry Porsche and Volkswagen boss Heinrich Nordhoff.

As a low-cost entry-level model, the lightweight 914 was to succeed the 356 for Porsche and combine the expertise of the two major car manufacturers in production. The influences of Porsche are reflected above all in the fresh design of the 914, which is still popular with Porsche fans and classic car collectors alike.

In this book you will find all the details, from the entire history of development and production, through entries, titles and victories in motor racing, to technical data on all models and model series.
