When Porsche introduced the 914 for the 1970 model year, it was a radical departure for the brand, developed in conjunction with Volkswagen as a more affordable, mid-engine sports car. While the vast majority of 914s were powered by Volkswagen's flat-four engines, a very special variant, the 914-6, received Porsche's own 2.0-liter flat-six, essentially a detuned version of the engine found in the contemporary 911T. This endowed the lightweight 914 with genuine Porsche performance, transforming its handling and acceleration. Only 3,332 examples of the 914-6 were built between 1970 and 1972, making it a significantly rarer and more sought-after model than its four-cylinder brethren, and a true enthusiast's choice for its unique blend of mid-engine balance and classic air-cooled six-cylinder soundtrack. This 1970 Porsche 914-6 represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of these rare and engaging machines. Showing 0 miles since what appears to be a comprehensive restoration, this example is presented in excellent condition, ready for its next chapter. While specific details on the "Other 2" engine are not provided, the presence of a manual transmission promises a direct and rewarding driving experience, allowing the driver to fully exploit the agile chassis and spirited power delivery that define the 914-6. This is a chance to own a distinctive piece of Porsche history, blending accessible mid-engine dynamics with the soul of a classic flat-six.
