About the Porsche 914/6 Targa Orange AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 Porsche 914/6 Targa in orange reproduces the 1970 mid-engine sports car, with opening doors. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage. A less common Porsche shape that stands apart from the usual 911 lineup.
Porsche and Volkswagen co-developed the 914 to fill the gap below the 911, and the six-cylinder 914/6 gave the wedge-shaped, mid-engine layout a genuine Porsche flat-six under the removable Targa top.
Diecast Detailing on the 914/6 Targa
The zinc-alloy shell carries a reassuring density that suits the 914's boxy, angular lines better than a lighter material would, since sharp edges show more honestly on a heavier casting. The doors open, and the removable Targa top area is molded to reflect the 914's distinctive roof treatment, one of the car's most talked-about design features. Panel gaps run wider than a premium resin piece would allow, standard at this tier, and the orange paint reads bright and even without the deeper flake a costlier finish carries, but the wedge profile and pop-up headlight housings come through with enough clarity to identify the car at a glance. This is a used example, and the outer box shows traces of storage, wear the carton has picked up over time that leaves the model itself unaffected.
The 914/6 as a Distinct Porsche Subject
Where most Porsche collections lean heavily on the 911, the 914/6 offers a genuinely different shape and layout, mid-engine rather than rear-engine, styled by a different hand and built through a joint venture with Volkswagen rather than in-house alone. That makes it a useful contrast piece on a Porsche-themed shelf, breaking up a run of 911 silhouettes with something angular and distinct. The six-cylinder variant in particular carries more collector interest than the four-cylinder 914s that made up the bulk of production, since it paired the mid-engine chassis with a genuine Porsche powerplant rather than a Volkswagen-sourced unit.
