Not sure if this has been posted yet. It just came out yesterday.
https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/heinrich...ie-and-the-914/ Has some interesting facts in it that I hadn't read befor so I thought I would share Edit: just reread it and it appears that Andy Schmidt from 914World contributed to the article. Is that @sirandy or someone else? |

Looks like steering wheels on both sides. That could be interesting for shared drives. |

@bkrantz
had not thought of the simultaneous arrangement. if so obviously intended exclusively for aus market. "empowering" back seat drivers to dual control status. wonder if they had dual brake pedals in mind as well? |

You can't really have two steering shafts merge into one and still expect them to operate independently. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

That could be even more fun for some couples. |

No, it means that instead of spending the time to do two almost identical technical drawings, one with the steering wheel on the left and one with the steering wheel on the right, you only make one drawing that shows how the linkage would run for either of those implementations.
