Nice video, and actually more accurate than many. One might argue that the 914-6 was actually for the expert drivers, not the beginners!

Both videos are great! I wish they would have gone into more detail on which years/engines displacements and HP figures were.

Also first time in a video they say the design of the 914 is by Heinrich Klie

@1:48 Since when were the bodies for the 914/6 built in Stuttgart? I have seen shells shipped to have the final engine and suspension components fitted at Stuttgart, but the shells were trucked in from Karmann IIRC.

You are right, all the bodies were built at the Karmann plant. Engine, suspension and steering of 914-6 were added at the Porsche plant.
