Parts and Spares for Porsche 914

Information about the Porsche 914 and parts compatibility

The Porsche 914, also known as the VW-Porsche, was introduced in 1969 as a collaborative project between Porsche and Volkswagen, aiming to create an affordable and practical mid-engine sports car.

Origin and characteristics of the Porsche 914

The history of the 914 is based on a long-standing relationship between Porsche and Volkswagen, who sought to replace existing sports models such as the Porsche 912 and the VW Karmann Ghia.
The agreement to develop an affordable sports car materialized in 1969 with the creation of the joint venture Volkswagen Porsche VG, owned 50% by each company.

The design of the 914, developed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and his team, was characterized by clean and modern lines that did not resemble the previous styling of either brand.
The layout was conceived as a two-seater with a mid-engine configuration, providing precise handling.
A new body element was introduced in its Targa version, featuring a removable fiberglass-reinforced plastic center roof panel and a wide safety roll bar.
Distinctive features included pop-up headlights and a long wheelbase relative to its overall length.

The 914 model was launched with several air-cooled flat engine options:

  Four-cylinder 1.7-liter flat engine producing 80 HP, sourced from Volkswagen.

  Delivered 85 HP with carburetors on European models and 76 HP with L-Jetronic fuel injection on U.S. versions.

Not all parts are interchangeable between versions, and even within the same series there may be variations depending on model year or configuration.
For this reason, each product listing clearly specifies the exact compatibility
using the official Porsche PET reference to ensure the correct selection of replacement parts.
