PORSCHE 914, «EL DEPORTIVO INCOMPRENDIDO»

21 February 2022

 

At the end of the 1960s, a sports car appeared on the scene, born out of an agreement between Porsche and Volkswagen. It was designed to appeal to the younger generation, but without overshadowing its big brother, the 911. This small sports car, however, did not meet with the expected success.

16 September 2021

This practical plastic-bodied vehicle appeared in 1968, inspired by the English mini moke and the Californian buggy that emerged at the beginning of that decade. In a short time it became for many a multi-purpose tool and for others, endless country fun. In short, a kind of Swiss army knife had been born, capable of moving over all types of terrain, as well as of having a modularity  that still surprises even today.
