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.

Finding a 908 engine is easier said than done hehe. Or afforded for that matter. In reality the 914-6 was already a 911 slayer. It bested all the 911s that entered LeMans in 1970 and quite a few of the top tier cars as well.

I tried to buy one a few years ago (through a Vasek broker) - as we entered into the plus 200K range I left the conversation I understand that various attempts have been made putting (2) 914 2L (or similar) engines have been joined in attempt to approximate a 908 engine........any information? |
