大眾-保時(shí)捷914
????早在大眾(Volkswagen)與保時(shí)捷(Porsche)合并之前四十年,,兩家公司就聯(lián)手研發(fā)了這款中置引擎的敞篷跑車(chē)。當(dāng)時(shí)無(wú)論是大眾還是保時(shí)捷之前都沒(méi)有生產(chǎn)過(guò)這么古怪的汽車(chē),。它于1969年問(wèn)世,,1976年停產(chǎn),,它的長(zhǎng)軸距在轉(zhuǎn)彎時(shí)提供了非同一般的穩(wěn)定性,但四缸版的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)只能泵出80匹馬力,,略顯不給力——要從靜止加速到時(shí)速62英里需要13秒,。后來(lái)兩家公司因?yàn)闋I(yíng)銷(xiāo)協(xié)議的問(wèn)題分道揚(yáng)鑣了,914跑車(chē)也很快淡出了人們的視線(xiàn),。如今一輛914老爺車(chē)只需3,000美元。 |

VW-Porsche 914
????Four decades before they finally decided to join forces, Volkswagen and Porsche collaborated on this mid-engined, targa-topped roadster that was one of the strangest cars either company ever produced. Built from 1969 to 1976, the 914's wide track provided unusual stability in cornering, but the 80 horsepower that the four-cylinder version put out made it a bit of a slug -- getting to 62 mph required 13 seconds. The two companies feuded over marketing arrangements, and the 914 quickly sank from view. Used models today go for as little as $3,000. |
