1973 Porsche 914/6
“Power to the people”
FIA HTP until 2029, Road Registered
All-round competitive car for Circuit and/or Rally eventsAlthough Porsche has been under the ownership of the Volkswagen Group since 2012, the joint history between the two German brands goes back a lot further than that. In the late 1960s, Porsche did much of Volkswagen’s development work and that came in handy when both brands were in need of a new sports car. Porsche looked to replace the entry-level 912, while Volkswagen had decided to bring in a new car to fill the space left by the beautiful but ageing Karmann Ghia. An idea for the two brands to collaborate on the project was approved and thus the 914 concept was born.
The original idea was to build two versions: a four-cylinder version for Volkswagen and a car with a six-cylinder engine for Porsche. However, the Stuttgart marque decided that it was too risky to sell two cars with the same body under separate brands and as a result, both cars would be sold under the Porsche brand.
The 914/6 was powered by a flat-six engine and therefore carried more Porsche DNA than the 914/4, it ended up costing only slightly less than the cheapest 911. As a result, Porsche discontinued the 914/6 after a few years.
Thankfully, the 914/4 and 914/6 cars that remained have since received the love they deserve on the classic racing scene, like this example fitting in the eye-catching historic Vaillant racing colours. It was professionally built on a solid 914/4 shell by Nordic Auto in Latvia and received a driveline from brand specialists Mittelmotor of Bochum Germany.
We believe this car is one of the most versatile cars in Historic Racing and Rallying. It would be successful in many events like the Monte Carlo Classic, the Modena Cento Ore, the Nürburgring 24-hour classic as well as many other events.
It notably won its class during the 2024 ADAC 24 -hour classic at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
