The Porsche 914, a mid-engine sports car jointly developed by Porsche and Volkswagen, was produced from 1969 to 1976. While its history is intertwined with the iconic Porsche brand, the 914 wasn't technically a "Porsche" in the traditional sense. It was designed as an affordable sports car, appealing to a broader market than Porsche's usual clientele. Volkswagen, aiming to expand its lineup with a stylish and sporty model, partnered with Porsche to bring the 914 to life. The result was a car with a distinctive, angular design featuring a fiberglass body and a compact, lightweight structure.

Despite its "Volkswagen" roots, the 914 inherited many Porsche design elements and characteristics. Its mid-engine layout, with the engine mounted behind the driver's seat, provided exceptional handling and balance. The 914 offered two engine options: a 1.7-liter flat-four engine from Volkswagen and a larger 2.0-liter flat-four engine from Porsche. While the 914's affordability and practicality made it a popular choice, it struggled to find its place in the market. The car's association with Volkswagen, coupled with some initial reliability issues, led to a perception of it as a "lesser Porsche." However, with its nimble handling, engaging driving experience, and distinctive design, the 914 has since become a cult classic, appreciated for its unique blend of affordability, practicality, and performance.
