A genuine historic racing Porsche, ready for the biggest events.

Unveiled in the late 1960s, the Porsche 914/6 was the result of a partnership between Porsche and Volkswagen, based on a simple idea: to offer a lightweight, modern sports car that was particularly efficient thanks to its mid-rear-engine layout. Produced in limited numbers and fitted with the famous flat-six engine from the 911 T, the 914/6 developed a unique character combining balance, agility and performance, quickly establishing itself as a benchmark both on the road and in competition. Thanks to its remarkably balanced chassis and modest weight, it became one of the most popular Porsches among amateur drivers and gentlemen drivers seeking pure driving thrills and formidable efficiency.

Our example, bearing chassis number 9140430398, boasts a particularly attractive racing history that is true to the spirit of the great historic Porsches. Fitted with a PTH valid until 2032, this 914/6 notably took part in the 2023 Le Mans Classic and the 2023 Tour Auto, two of the most prestigious events on the European historic racing calendar. These participations attest to the quality of its preparation, its mechanical reliability and its ability to cover long distances in demanding conditions whilst retaining the sporting and authentic character characteristic of Stuttgart’s production cars.

Accompanied by numerous maintenance invoices, our car has been meticulously maintained, ensuring that it can now be enjoyed to the full. Its dynamic handling, the characteristic sound of the Flat-6 engine and its lightness offer a driving experience that has become rare in modern motoring. A true machine for historic rallies and international events, this 914/6 represents an ideal opportunity for an enthusiast wishing to take part in the finest European events with a car that is as high-performing as it is endearing.

The Porsche featured in these pages is undoubtedly one of the German marque’s most intelligent and balanced interpretations… A car equally capable of covering long distances in major historic rallies as it is of offering its driver the raw, authentic driving pleasure of 1970s Porsche racing cars.
