The 914-6: A Brief Overview

The Porsche 914-6, a remarkable piece of automotive history, has often been overshadowed by its more popular sibling, the iconic 911. Introduced in the 1970s, the 914-6 was unique in its design and performance, showcasing a six-cylinder engine that gave it a distinctive character. Today, one prime example of the 914-6 is available for auction on Bring a Trailer, showcasing the enduring appeal of this lesser-known Porsche model.

Specifications of the 1971 Porsche 914-6

At the heart of the 1971 Porsche 914-6 lies a 2.0-liter air-cooled flat-six engine. Although it was the least powerful six-cylinder option offered, producing a respectable 110 horsepower, its lightweight design—under 2100 pounds—ensured a spirited driving experience. The car’s agile handling and quick response made it an exhilarating choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the art of driving.

A Rare Opportunity Awaits

This specific 914-6, finished in a sleek black on black color scheme, stands out among its peers. The aesthetic choices, including 14-inch Fuchs wheels and classic “Porsche” script, enhance its nostalgic allure. The removable targa top allows for an immersive driving experience, letting you enjoy the sound of that unique flat-six engine as you cruise. The auction ends on September 25, creating a rare opportunity for collectors and driving aficionados alike to own a piece of Porsche legacy.
