1969 porsche 914 main630 01 0409 350x200 Porsche celebrates 40th anniversary of the 914

It was a quiet day in 1969 when Porsche first had the idea to build a low-cost mid-engined sports car, something that could sit below the famous 911 but still be sporty enough for discerning drivers. It was this simple idea that led to the creation of two cars that helped push Porsche to become the company that it is now - the Porsche 914 and the Porsche 914/6.

Working with Volkswagen, a power struggle over who would sell the car and under what name led to the decision to sell the 914 as a VW-Porsche model.
