I don't know , were not able to drive it for our selves. If one works with the Factory and plans a media day for a Porsche Magazine, (Excellence, Panorama)you might get a chance. I have a diagram of this set up, when I can I will scan and load it. Thanks |

minor hijack for something of interest. note the shape of the fender at the turn signal, and the lense too. did #4 have euro lenses? back to your previously scheduled programing.

The 914-8 was a pre 914, Chassis #914111, I think they produced many one off's for the car. The front fender is round and the front lens has a lift instead of a curve shape like the current 914's have. In the Big 914 book from Germany you can see the clay mock up of this idea. I do not understand the #4 question about euro lens. In Europe the 914 front turn signal lens is two colors, Bottom white for the driving light used in the cities and the amber/yellow for the turn signal. In the rear Amber for turn signal and Red for brake and driving light or first position on the light switch. I hope that I did not mess up your question to much. Thanks |

the correct spelling is: Ernst-Jan Mastenbroek I guess the second guy is Dave Fagan ? the #4 question referes to #914114, which has got the same turn light lenses here's one photo from the same shooting at "Schloss Langenburg" Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks Gustl B, for the save. You know the heat in Florida get's to ones head. Can't remember names??? I was wondering what the #4 was about? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Yes that is Dave, I have those photos somewhere just have to go find them. Motor Klassik from 1/1990 did the article on this 914-8 and also the Silver 916 Called Jorgs Traum!!! I think that it is everyone dream. Klaus Parr from the Porsche archives let me look through countless B&W photos, as the day was ending he told me " We also have many in Color photos, Racing 914-6 GT’s, 916 Catalogue etc. I ask can I see them, It was already 6pm, he said I must come back another day, I was leaving the very next day.

Yes, the #4 car has the same inner fender details too. Really rough pounding and a welding seam from being a pre-porduction model.
Far as I know only the 2 flat 8 cars and the #4 (9141114) car are the only protypes to exist today. Geoff Attached image(s) |

be sure that I couldn't tell the correct spelling out of my brain ... I have the book next to my computer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
I own the Motor Klassik 01/1990 - nice article with superb photos
damn, I bet this would be fantastic ... (IMG:http://www.netspace-hosting.com/images/smilies/wine.gif) I'd really love to see a 916 brochure (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) they have never been official |

Great pics.
See how wide those headlamp covers are? I'd like to see the configuration of the headlamps in there. |
