This might get some knickers in a quibbley but I'm trying to figure out had the 914 design team's vote to badge the car been honored, which badge would have come on my car. Porsche Classics shows the orange badge used through MY 1973 and the red badge beginning in MY 1974, but there is also this graphic showing the switched occurred sometime in '73.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.summitmedia-digital.com-20845-1664031721.1.jpg) The best I can tell, the switch might have happened with the introduction of the 911 G-series in MY 1974 but I've had a hard time finding when actual production began. I did find this article saying it started in August, 1973 which might be a good clue. That may be all I need to know, but does anyone have anything to add? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) You get it from Ferdinand's son, Anton (Tony), of course. Quite interesting really. His company has developed an EV super car to be released in 2024. Kind of funny since his dad apparently didn't like EVs and is a big reason why VW was slow to the game. Most interesting is that he claims they can put an 80% (250 miles of range) into the car in under 5 minutes. That may be the last hurdle for EVs to truly go mainstream. EDIT: I almost forgot. In some articles I read, this car is going to be built by "a well-known" car manufacturer. Please, please, please let it be Karmann. That would make it perfect. There are several videos online. Here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe7m_YoiNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe7m_YoiNM and an article: https://www.hotcars.com/everything-we-know-...ctric-piech-gt/ |
