This is the coolest 914 I’ve ever seen. Love it! 🔥

@Nicoda1st 8 месяцев назад

I don’t know why people don’t like nor talk about the 914!!! I loved it since i was a kid, and it was the first non-Italian car i recognized by the sound. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the engine of cars passing by, and recognized more than 70-80% and i was 5 years old. It has become my passion and job sound tuning cars… so thanks for bringing back those great memories 👍🏼

@victorcetta4854 Месяц назад

I have driven a 914 since 1973. An amazing car when it comes to handling. I have often thought about more horsepower but this RESTOMOD project has taken the 914 to an entirely new level. A job well done!!! 🔥

@ADudesRotary 8 месяцев назад

I really love the widebody, has a great stance. I would prefer full black in and out and I think the loss of the pop ups actually makes it look sleeker, nice looking car. Anymore than 400 hp per ton would be extreme 😊

Absolutely fantastic car, an amazing project. Being ever so picky, I’m not quite sure the hooded headlights in the wings are quite right, I think if they added a glass covers it would be perfect. Really nice review also great to see the back end of little Irish.

This is a really nice comment, Marcus: an opinion delivering something constructive in a mature and respectful way. The internet needs more people like you!

@PatHaskell 8 месяцев назад

My same thought on the headlights, but an absolutely, gorgeously designed and executed advancement of the 914.

@marcusoutdoors4999 8 месяцев назад

I am just blown away by the dedication that went into the build. I was very interested first time I saw it in print. I do hope there is the market in the Porsche universe for this interesting and different take, I suspect those with 911s will love this to add to their collection as a fascinating talking point and a different type of drive. The engine choice was close to my heart and my first Porsche was a Boxster S 3.4 which seemed to have a particularly racy engine to me, so good choice. I have just got back into Porsche selling my Evora to fund a 997.1 C2S which I hope to evolve over time in a same way you have developed Little Irish. Your passion shines through keep up the great work and if you ever stop at the Kirkstile pub, my local near Loweswater in the Lake District, I'll buy you a pint. @@9WERKSTV

@Framo60 8 месяцев назад

These were exactly my thoughts, too. I have never been a fan of the 914 (while I am very fond of contemporary Porsches as well as the Karmann Ghia), but this restomod looks really good inside and out - I definitely like it. And the redesigned front facia is indeed quite an improvement in comparison to the original design - apart from the hooded headlights which give the impression that something is missing there.

@johnandrews3568 8 месяцев назад

I love it except the headlights in blinker pods. Should have wired the driving lights to be the headlights or keep the pop-ups. Or at the very least, put a clear lens over the headlights as-is to give it a smoother, more aero-oem look.

@90sbuickguy84 8 месяцев назад

I like it but on the front where you’re missing those pop-up oval lenses for the turn signals it looks like there’s something missing having those too hole gaps there were they used to go also I kind of wish they would’ve kept the pop-up headlights because that was such a signature look for that car in my opinion I still like it though and I would have one along side the original 914 no it doesn’t have pop-up headlights but it does have 400 horsepower with absolutely no electronic nannies, and with a proper gearbox I will take my wins where I can get them. Honestly when I first saw this car before I even read the title I thought oh no, they turned the 914 into an electric car restomod like they do with some of the 911s but no they haven’t honestly other than those two gripes I have a bout it it’s brilliant

@dogger37JC 8 месяцев назад

Yea the pop up headlights and turn signals were such an iconic part of the design. Part of doing a good restomod is staying true to the original without going overboard with making it modern.

I have loved the shape and the idea of the 914 since the begining. To me it is a perect sports car and now it has the power to match the best of them. I am absolutely sure that there is a market for a good old fashioned pure mechanical sports car such as a 914 or a Jensen Healey. Good show.
