Porsche 914 Engines and Transmissions

Each Porsche 914 engine is a rear-drive gasoline unit paired with a manual transmission, from the modest 1.7 MT through the 1.8 MT to the livelier 2.0 MT. Because the powertrain sits behind the cabin, the drivetrain keeps weight centred, rewarding smooth gear changes and steady throttle inputs.
