Porsche 914
The 914 has gone down in history as one of the worst vehicles ever made by the German automaker. This budget-friendly mid-engine sports car was developed by Porsche and Volkswagen to serve as the entry-level Porsche. It went on sale in 1969 and was discontinued just 7 years later. Despite its quirky exterior design and a Targa roof, the 914 failed to sell. The sports car was awfully underpowered, its boxer engine barely made 100 horsepower! While the 914 was agile at tight turns, its terrible acceleration was far from appealing. The 914 has gone down in history as one of the worst vehicles ever made by the German automaker.

QUOTE(mb911 @ Jul 13 2021, 05:55 PM)  Lol whatever.. I could argue it is one of the finest. Sweet ride Ben. One could argue the fact our lowly 914 finished sixth behind a couple 917's and 512's in the 24 hours of Lemans. Ahead of several 911 models. Can't wait to get our project rolling |

Can't wait to get our project rolling Gonna leave the quotes for sentiment and beauty. Thing is: I cannot find a car as fun to drive as my 914. And they have had 50 years in which to try. Simple. Good ergonomics. Connected to the road. With a six it has just the right amount of power, because it isn’t really about power. |
