Der Porsche, den Porsche selbst nicht wollte - und der trotzdem alles veranderte

The Porsche that Porsche himself didn't want—and yet changed everything. The story of the Porsche 914 begins with a handshake between Ferry Porsche and VW CEO Nordhoff—and ends with a legacy that shaped every modern Boxster and Cayman. A car that nobody wanted, won Le Mans, received an eight-cylinder monster prototype as a birthday present, and nearly brought the entire company to its knees. The complete story, with all the scandals, secrets, and the man who went on to build Bugatti. Music in this video: Eyes of Glory - Aakash Gandhi, When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Cooper Cannell.
