Am I correct that it's a prototype for a car using a 914-6 chassis and engine but not a prototype for Porsche?

The idea was to create a GT coupe version of the 914 with the 911 Flat 6 engine. A more refined, luxury version of the 914. The car was well received by the press and people were ready to place orders for it. Heuliez started discussions with Porsche to start production. However, they were working with Karmann and would'nt want any conflict with their coach builder. Project got cancelled as Heuliez would'nt risk to go alone on that project. |

I read that paragraph but I wasn't clear if it was going to be a Porsche or another brand. |

I read that paragraph but I wasn't clear if it was going to be a Porsche or another brand. I think it was a pre-series 6 that the factory gave (or sold) to Heuliez with the potential that Porsche would take the car to production, but the conflict with Karman apparently caused too much conflict. |
