Porsche developed the 914 as a replacement for its beloved 912, the four cylinder version of the 911. The 914 was intended to be a mass produced vehicle that would be built in conjunction with Volkswagen. When unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1969, it was somewhat unexpected as it did not resemble a Porsche or a Volkswagen. The car, however, with its mid-engine configuration, demonstrated balance and handling capabilities that few have achieved and packaged it into an affordable sports car that would appeal to the masses. The 914 offered 3 variations with the 4 cylinder engine configuration: the 1.7 and 1.8 were inexpensive enough to attract buyer, but the person that wanted to save a little money but still have a fun car to drive in all gears optioned for the 2.0 liter that had more low end torque and more total horsepower.
