This low-riding Porsche 914-6 belongs to Speedhunters.com reader Martin, who sent me this stunning shot of his car. It sounds like quite a beast fitted with a close to 300 HP 3.5L flat-6, replacing the stock 110 HP 2L. On top of all the mechanical modifications, which also include 930 brakes and GT stiffening suspension plates, Martin also fitted the steel GT fender flares and had the rear ones further widened by 1-inch. The car rides on the stock 15-inch Fuchs wheels that sit neatly inside the arches. This is by far the nicest looking 914-6 I have ever seen. Thanks for the picture Martin!

Now this is a 914 worth buying... and worthy of the Porsche badge.

I would love to see a feature on this car. I'm a Porsche tech by trade and 914's have always been a weird favorite of mine!

A flat 3.0L engine with 300 hp from what? a VW? Porsche? Subaru?

Could be from a Boxster S however I believe those were 3.4L. Some guy...if you don't like it, then keep your comments to yourself. It's not the ugliest but it certainly is the most different. The ugliest and least functional is that Cayenne thing they built to compete with Land Rover.

The 914 was the Cayman of the 70's, handling better than a 911 and slower only because Porsche wouldn't put their bigger engine in it. Nice work Martin.
