The fabulous (and terrible at the same time) 70s were full of many automotive design ideas, and many of these ideas also came from small car manufacturers who produced aesthetic kits for different car models. This 914 is equipped with one of these kits which, we must say, apart from the huge rear wing, is… Read More Big wing: 1975 VW-Porsche 914
There is little doubt: German cars fared strong in the USA in the 1960s while being far less powerful than an American car sold for the same price.
