This is an interesting older 914 article from 2004, which I just found perusing the website of "Classic Motorsports" that I recently subscribed to for the halibut!

Dave -
While there are some similarities - there are far more differences in the two designs, and certainly not enough to be considered the basis for the 914 design (for example copyright law only requires 25% different). Moreover, lacking a contract to do the design for Porsche/VW, it's hard for Gugelot or anyone to maintain that they did the design, so it's probably just speculation in the past. But they certainly could've been aware of the Gugelot design study at Porsche, and that could have influenced their design for the 914 indirectly. Also somebody previously posted at another topic on here, a pic of the Porsche Design Studio with the design sketches of various studies for the 914, including the final design - supporting the history that it was done internally at Porsche Design. Maybe Sir Andy or someone can post it here for you. Ludvigsen & the others espousing the Gugelot theory were speculating, without any basis of factual documents, as far as I & others have seen. Opinions get expressed & sometimes that gets spread by others. ...... and that is just IMHO!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
