Interesting article.

It talks about how Karmann helps car companies come in on budget..... which leads me to a historical question:

Did the 914 chassis come in on budget??

Wasn't cost a factor in the demise of the 914/6??

Its good to see Karmann is still around, but I'd watch the battery tray... biggrin.gif laugh.gif biggrin.gif laugh.gif

VW resold the 914 bodies to Porsche at a profit making Porsche pay a premium for them. That raised the price of the 914/6 to almost the same as the base 911.

500 bucks shy of the price of a taildragger to be exact!
