Porsche and VW teamed up in a legendary alliance to birth the “914” roadster, a car that was as much about speed as it was about family feuds. Produced from 1969 to 1976, this mid-engine marvel was originally set to be sold as a VW and a Porsche in North America. But fear of an identity crisis led to both versions being badged Porsche — because who wants a split personality? Speaking of splits, check out the 2.0L Opposed 4 engine with a 4-Speed Manual, priced at $28,995.00. Buckle up, nostalgia’s calling!
Porche and VW formed an alliance to develop, manufacture and market the  “914” roadster.  This mid-engine mounted two seater was produced from 1969 through ’76. The original marketing plan of the VW/Porche 914 for  N. American markets was to  sell the identical vehicle as a VW with a flat four engine and as a Porsche 914 with the higher powered flat six. The plan was dropped due to a fear that the American market would be affected in a negative way, so both engine designs were released here branded as a Porche .
