It featured angular lines and a removeable Targa roof with flying buttress pillars, a trendy style also seen on the Jaguar XJ-S: in the opinion of this writer, an unflattering technique that rarely worked.


He's not design savvy. The XJ-S "flying buttress" was considered one of the nicest aesthetic features.

I wouldn't call the 914 targa a "flying" buttress like many of the Ferraris, it's too short because Porsche designed functional engine access between it and the trunk. It still has visual and probably structural strength and doesn't restrict rear 3/4 view like some mid-engine cars (Lotus Europa, Lancia Scorpion, and Lambos)...
