Here's the info.
6 cyl. 2 litre engine, 110 HP, top speed 220 km/h. Designed by Albrecht Graf Goertz for the VW-Porsche project. This one remained a prototype, but eventually 3.332 914s were built with a six-cyl. engine.

This prototype can be seen at the Deutsches Automuseum in Langenburg and was donated to the museum by Goertz himself in 1994

It's in one of my (many) Porsche books... Never seen it in person though.

Wow, that is Pacer ugly.

I was thinking about older Lotus styling.

Sort of Lotus Europa.

Looks like a 914 and Saab Sonnet cross pollinated.

Just to be clear on this, the factory had nothing to do with this car.

Andy

apart from the fact that they first built it as a 914-6

And i was just told last night that us germanics don't have any sense of humor ...
Andy

What about this?

I'm sure that just refers to Germans - but I'm Austrian

Has been posted here before. Can't find the thread right now, but there were more pictures ...
Andy

Neither of these above are prototypes...just custom one-offs by custom designers. Attempting to improve on the production 914 goes way back...\

PS these two are not 914 prototypes either...but they are fun to check out.

This second one was to be a Corvette wasn't it?

The second one was a Brazilian VW if I am not mistaken.

Not Brazilian, a mid-engine, rotary power Corvette prototype, hacked onto a 914 chassis. The million dollar XP978GT from 1973. Details are on my website.

Wow Jeff. I've wandered all through your pages, but somehow missed a lot. This is great stuff!

I know many years ago I saw a detachable rear section that someone was marketing....It was pictured in a either Road and Track or something like that...(Taht was back when I has to quit driving mine because I could not fit the wife and two kids in it...
