I apologize if this is a repost.

Is this for real? Kinda ugly.

Sure, they need something slotted in below the Boxter.....for about $39,999.

Looks like a Toyota.

If you ask me, it isn't a sucessor to the 914 unless it's a targa.

there's only 1 concept drawing, and it's a "wouldn't it be cool if" article. i didn't even pay attention to it when i read it.

it was just a way to keep some illustrator in business. don't hold your breath.

however, if they did resurrect the 914 name, it would be good for our cars rep i think.

Gotta have a targa...

I'd have to agree that it wouldn't be a 914 unless it was a targa.

Targa top carerra GT style would be best.

I hear Porsche has 2 Chairmen on VW's board... *sniff sniff* I smell joint venture.

Yes, it is ugly. Waaaaay too many lines and creases! The bigger image posted above looks much, much better -- well, except the side view mirrors, those are ugly!

Damn lil piggy needs a diet... it's just a drawing and they are @ 2650lbs... Means it will be damn near 3K if it hits the streets

That's a 914 and a half

Well.. There not going to not have abs, power steering, power brakes, a/c, airbags, electronic seats, 5mph bumpers, and an aray of other things... so it does get a bit heavy...

and all racing considered.. a 2600lb factory car can be pretty light!

Doubt they will make this car. but if they do... and im making good money... you can bet i'll buy one. AND throw a 996 tt engine or some gawd happy engine...
