Porsche, without doubt, makes some of the most desirable cars in the world. Ask anyone what their dream five-car garage would be, and a Porsche will likely place high on their list. But there are some models in Porsche’s past portfolio that don’t ignite as much passion as a 911 or a 928 might. These cars don’t get the attention and love of their big brothers, but all the same they are part of the marque’s history, and they’re definitely worth a look.
Here are my top three ‘forgotten’ Porsches:
914
Introduced in 1969, the 914 was available with a Porsche six-cylinder engine (914/6), and a Volkswagen six-cylinder (914/4). Originally, the plan was to sell the 914/4 as a Volkswagen and the 914/6 as a Porsche, but Porsche worried about the ramifications of diluting the brand by having a cosmetically identical Volkswagen trundling around.
Despite being widely regarded as an ‘ugly’ car, the 914/4 sold well, though because of high costs, the six-cylinder was less popular. Eventually it was phased out, and replaced with a fuel injected four-ylinder.
The 914/6, though, was the most ‘Porsche’ of the line-up, and with more power than any of the four-cylinder variants, the best to drive. It’s a shame that less than 3,500 were made.
924
Another VW collaboration, the 924 was the first departure from the traditional Porsche set up of an air-cooled rear engine. It was designed to be VWs flagship, but they decided to go with the Scirocco instead, so Porsche went ahead with it themselves. The first model had very little to shout about, using a VW van engine and four-speed ’box. Eventually, though, Porsche released the 924 Turbo… an altogether better car, although sadly an unreliable one.
My favourite model is the 924S. Fitted with the 2.5 litre engine from the 944, this car had none of the turbo-related troubles, but produced a similar amount of power.
