I have recently had a reason to look at the lineage of the factory 914-6 number 1543 owned by Tony Samojen and documented on Armando’s pbase 914-6 GT website. The original window sticker is shown there. It refers to this car in two places as a 914-6 “R”. No mention of GT
We talk about GT’s and M471 optioned cars, but it seems there is more significance to the R designation than the more commonly used GT designation. This particular car was special ordered through a dealership and It seems that it was intended more as a street car. Kinda like the Cayman GT 4 RS. No GT roll bar. I suspect vintage GT guru Glenn Staszak could provide more insight. |
