Lego Porsche 914 Creamsicle
Lego Porsche 914 Creamsicle
Launched in 1969 the VW-Porsche 914 was produced until 1976, with
120,000 made during that run. A flat-4 engine powered the
Volkswagen version, whilst it was joined by an optional flat-6 in the
Porsche, giving the two ‘914/4’ and ‘914/6’ names depending upon
the engine specified, with power ranging from 75 to 110bhp
.This gorgeous Technic recreation of the Porsche 914 comes from
newcomer Wilbert Engels who has built the ’70s oddity beautifully in
Lego form. Wilbert’s model includes working suspension, steering
with Ackermann geometry, pop-up head-lights, a removable roof,
adjustable seats, a gearbox, and a choice of both the flat-4 and flat-6
engines that powered the real cars.
Take a look via the links in the text above, and cross your fingers that
Volkswagen and Porsche can return to making cars like this, rather
than an ever expanding range of depressingly identikit SUVs.
