what were they thinking when they designed the 9 *1*4, i sure they didnt foresee its cult following or sickness as is said Options

[thelogo]

So when these cars came out what was there so called segment

I know it's said that it's the 912 replacement


And

Karmin ghia replacement


But was this thing really made as just a fill in car .

I personally use it as many things , it fill many roles well not something we usually associated with a small 2 seater


It may be the 2nd best handling car around

No.1 , 944




But how was it marketed and presented to the motoring public when it came out .Obviously it was not marketed as buy this car and it will still be cool 35 years later. And was it designed to handle really well (for a car with normal tires )

Or was that just a by product of superior german manufacturing and execution.

In all honesty the 912 and karmen ghia are

Pretty big shoes to filll







And a teener does it well

But would I be correct to assume a 914 (not wild conversion) with the same power
As a 911 would be the faster or quicker car
