"BrakeforIt" Hated it., "Watch Out For The Worst Sports Cars Ever" Options

[Jonathan Livesay]

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.

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

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.

A couple days ago a guy complimented my car in a parking lot and claimed he used to have one. Then he asked "how fast will it go?" That made me question his claim of owning one. I just said, "not that fast." Then he said the Toyota Camry he was driving could do 180. I just smiled while thinking, whoop-ti-do. Some people don't get these cars and I guess that is part of the appeal.
