There was a guy....on Ferrari chat.
Yeah. A few years ago Hemming's Exotic Cars did a cover story on the 308GT4 as an economical way to get some Stallions. (edit:05/07/16)"A few years ago"19 actually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) http://www.ebay.com/itm/November-1997-Euro...x8AAOxyVaBS1IHX Bertone did a great job of integrating 4 seats and mid design transversely.The marketing department not so good. Like the 914 the GT4 was shunned by the illuminati.Paul Frere did a R+T road test in Upper Michigan in '74 and loved the car. Now stuffing a 400i V12 longitudinally and a modern 6-7 spd tapshift would wake it up. The objective being to maintain the brand of the prancing horse.Add the turbos and water+nitromethane injection ..How fast?220MPH+ fer sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu8qo93N1wM How to re+re your F-V12. Why I'll buy into the lottery..

Hmmm...
Couldn't find the thd,What sitename? Lower longer..starting to look like a Can-Am with a 914 house on top. Hey,it does have a Can-Am engine.+Turbos! The large vents under the trunk floor will allow the flow of the massive heat generated by the powerplant,feeding the low pressure area behind the car at speed.Turbulent air under the car is drawn out. The width here is about as extreme as it should get. Still possible to add GT flares of narrower dimension. The reverse light is in factory position,the lens is merely wider by the widening amount. Not the easy way this is.You would need a metal surgeon to hammer and dolly the added strips of sheetmetal.The shape of the trunkline rear of the targa defines the intersecting transverse curve.The beltline then is lower.Raising the trunkline would help a lot,giving a humpier,bulging curve to the rear top quarter,sorto like the latemodel Aston-Martins. The focal length of the camera used foreshortens the image making it tricky to accurately sketch. Wider than the section cut.+2" Primordial DNA of the 914 Targa Bar. |

So..to shape some foam you first must use adhesive to attach it to the fenders. Then use the above methods the achieve the shape you desire. Modern epoxies and clothes are more suitable for insulation type polystyrene. If you are making your own mudgards(flares) it's possible to design,fabricate a unique look for your 914. At some point in the work-up to the LeMan '70 someone cut a washtub in half at the factory and said "yeah,that'll work". Don't get me wrong.I like the look,they were the solution of the day for the fat wheeled Porsches,the 911 too. The colour is very close to my own selection. A how-to: http://neilblanchard.blogspot.ca/ The Red-Transformer 914 is a notable design for it's outrageousness. Personally I regard this red 914 as a 10,being so well integrated. Very Nice,"Modern"EV from Switzerland. |

As an example of how design intent can go arwry..
YellowHorror Fat tires-check. Flares-check pseudo f40-check As you observe various auto designs,are you able to perceive rust and dents from a distance of 100 yds? Sure,so it is entirely possible to detect the shape of the fenders of a 911RSR. Expedient measures to cover the tires range from this to the shapely splined flanks of the 914. The necessity drive the invention. |

Fer sail Wider to fit,with or without flares. early corsa late corsa 8 (what a '77 914/911/944 morph looks like) nice crank.corvair aero app they are able to do -8's to similar specs 2K?+ Lol! Hey, that's my LE saved only days before the PO was going to have it crushed! It's stored in my garage until I can do a full on roto resto :-) Cool what you did, but it'll be bone stock concourse when completed (years from now, lol) |

Thanks bulitt.
OK,so,you need a Wider Fender...Note to self,drive-ability makes good parts. A raised trunkline,taller from the trunk floor. Wider lens + taller too.Starting to look like 944/968/928 pieces,fitting really,that the parts would serve a similar purpose. Some resemblance to the family tree. |

Merely widened fenders+doors. Does it still evoke the 914,spoilers n all? How bout now?3" stretch behind the targa curve. Two tone anodized Fuchs 4-stud.A bronze/titanium,rim polished. Polished alloy or chromed outer rocker. LED aero turn indicator.(spoke?) If you measure your door thickness add 3-4" for this result. I can add the front fender vent and the engine oil cooler scoop as well as an intrusion barrier/cage bar with the extra width.Form follows funktion. 2-3"Rise at the trunk line,to accomodate intercooler opening. Caramel pearl med metallic. Zagato Meringue Scarlet YoMaMa Blue Ice Silver / |

SilverQuarter-9 The larger tail-lamps remove any semblance to 914 and move into the 924 family. An exercise in fitting the rads/intercoolers amidships,without adding lumps. 17" and low profile tires fit the enlarged w-wells in a modern way. A '66 Mustang is showing its influence,difference being the vents are functional. This will be a long time coming,a ton of work. |

into the realm of a full custom Some details to be determined..without the 3"stretch.Navy Targa Vinyl. I recall one of the early "models in clay" sported headlamps of similar shape. Mid mounted coolers do two things,eliminate long lines and retain a centralized cg. Not really 914+944,or change for changes sake,more like what if? In '67 a pencil and plasticine was used. |
