If Porsche made the 914 today, Porsche Vision Spyder is the modern day 914 Options

That was really neat to see a side by side of the 551 and 914. 551 certainly seems a mix of a 550 and 914. Will Porsche ever make a 914 again? Probably about the same time they are willing to make another version of a 924.

They already have; they call it the "Boxster."

914-6 had the same basic engine as the 911, but at lower performance. So does the Boxster.
914-6 was mid-engine versus the 911's ass-engine. So is the Boxster.
As a result, the 914-6 was a better-performing chassis, given similar setup. So is the Boxster.
Porsche made a 4-cylinder version of the 914 that costs less. So did the Boxster.

So everybody wonders what would have happened if Porsche had continued the 914? We already know.

All that's missing is the targa bar.

The difference being that Porsche seems to have gone out of their way NOT to acknowledge the obvious 914 heritage with the Boxster. With the 914 finally getting its due, I wouldn't be surprised to see a future version of Boxster/914 finally give an official nod to our little bastards. I think there could be a nostalgia-based marketing advantage there. OTOH, the fact they have once again ignored us in this Little Rebel concept suggests maybe they won't.
