I think there can be very little doubt now that Porsche has embraced the 914 again. This was at the Techno Classica show. They did the same thing with the 356 for a long time, practically denied they ever built it, didn't support it with parts, etc, and then later re-discovered it when it reached 50 years. Better late than never.

Not at all looking to troll, but is this really true? The 356 was the first and only Porsche (aside from tractors) until the 911 went into production. Hard to imagine that they would deny their first ever production car. Yes, it's ass-engined, but Porsche ultimately decided to go this route to have more seats and appeal to a larger percentage of the buying public. I can understand why Porsche would be into revisionist history with the 914 as it was a joint venture with VW, but the 356 was their bread and butter. |
