Sorry if this is a re-post, but just came across this. Interesting possibilities, wonder if it will come to the U.S.

914's are kewl Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California |
I know the Boxster is essentially the modern 914, but I just want them to produce the 914 again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
A modernized looking 914 (targa top...even a an old fashioned manual one as we have, two seats, two trunks, etc...) is the perfect platform for an e-vehicle (or hybrid). Maybe Porsche will realize that the styling of the 914 is that good!! Wake me up now...I've been dreaming for decades. |

QUOTE(boxsterfan @ Apr 29 2014, 09:02 AM)  I know the Boxster is essentially the modern 914, but I just want them to produce the 914 again. If they made one without the hybrid stuff on it, it would still weigh 3500 lbs. With the hybrid drivetrain? I'd bet over 2 tons. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) They won't make a 914 again. There isn't enough profit in it. If they can build one that makes enough $$, it will lose just about all of the 914 character. --DD |
