Even with 260 horsepower, the 914 S would have stood out as the most powerful road-going Porsche of its era had it seen the light that awaits at the end of a production line.

most interesting bit of writing is in the comments.
 direct quote is here. "chrome cobra" made the remark on a visit to australia. i've read it before. https://motorheritage.org.au/chuck-jordan-the-chrome-cobra/ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i reckon its absolutely true. piech + h k did the car more or less. with the cousin slowly excluded from any involvement in the final product. probably why i like the 914. |
