Sold out
Porsche 914/6 Targa Orange AUTOart 1:18 77932 Diecast
1 / 8
AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 914/6 wears its 1970 orange paintwork over the wedge-shaped Targa body. This is a used model, and its box shows traces of storage, though the casting itself is unaffected. Doors and lids open front and rear, showing the mid-engine layout. A distinctive shape for a Porsche or 1970s design theme.

About the Porsche 914/6 Targa Orange AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 diecast Porsche 914/6 Targa reproduces the 1970 mid-engine sports car in orange, doors and lids opening front and rear. The model is used, with the box showing traces of storage. Zinc alloy construction carries the wedge-shaped, Targa-topped body with real weight.

The 914 gets little credit next to Porsche's air-cooled flagships, but the six-cylinder version was a genuine mid-engine sports car in its own right, and an orange example wears that decade's boldest colour palette without apology.

Opening Panels and Build on the AUTOart 914/6

This casting opens at both ends, front boot and rear engine cover, along with functioning doors, giving a genuine look at the 914's mid-engine packaging rather than just its silhouette. That layout is exactly what made the 914 unusual among Porsches of its day, and having it accessible on a diecast is a real point in the model's favour. Zinc alloy gives the small coupe proper heft, and the wedge-shaped panels hold clean, consistent lines for a production-tier diecast. The orange paint is a period-correct choice for the 914, one of the boldest colours Porsche offered in the early 1970s, and it carries reasonable depth under display lighting. As a used model the piece has been displayed before, and its box shows the traces of storage that come with that history without touching the model inside.

A Genuine Mid-Engine Porsche

Porsche developed the 914 jointly with Volkswagen, and the six-cylinder 914/6 used a genuine Porsche engine rather than the four-cylinder VW-derived unit fitted to lesser versions, making it the more serious performer of the range. Its Targa top and mid-engine layout set it apart from the front-engine 911 line of the same period, and it occupies a distinct place in Porsche's model history as a genuinely different engineering approach rather than a lesser badge-engineered offering.

Where an Orange 914/6 Fits a Shelf

The 914's compact wedge shape takes modest shelf space and stands out sharply against rounder classic sports cars of the same era, making it a useful contrast piece as well as a genuine Porsche entry. Displayed with the front and rear lids open, it shows off the mid-engine layout that defines the model rather than presenting a flat, closed profile. Given the used condition, a check of the panel fit and paint on arrival is sensible, though this remains an honest, characterful piece for a 1970s Porsche or design-era collection.
