[h=2]1970-1975 Porsche 914[/h] Source: Porsche



Despite winning Motor Trend’s inaugural Import Car of the Year award in 1970, the 914 was Porsche’s black sheep right from the beginning. The 914 was the product of a partnership with Volkswagen, and was originally slated to replace the Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia before getting a Porsche badge instead.

In an era when Porsche was building the insane 190 mile per hour 911 2.3 Carrera RSR, the lowly Volkswagen-powered 914 was a considered to be a badge-engineered failure. Five decades on, clean styling, a fuel injected engine, crisp five-speed gearbox, fully independent suspension, and a targa top make the 914 a desirable and fun vintage cruiser, and it’s become a classic in its own right.
