With Porsche’s current financial troubles, one suggestion for additional income would be the introduction of a new entry-level roadster built along the lines of the Porsche 914 of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Porsche research and development chief Wolfgang Dürheimer denied claims the company was working on such a car, however German media is reporting that it’s still a possibility.
Speaking with Automobilwoche, Porsche production manager Michael Macht said the car could be as priced as low as €33,000 to €35,000. He went on to explain that this would not fit in with the company’s current market position but it could if a fifth model line was added. If it became a reality, the baby roadster would likely be a joint effort between Porsche and VW.
