In all the years that Porsche->ke1 has been around, it has created a handful of iconic models that, to this day, enthusiasts still revere suiting their legendary status. On the flip side, there are also some Porsche models that don't get the same amount of love and admiration that they deserve. One model that belongs in the latter category is the 1970 Porsche 914-6->ke3319, a mid-engine, two-seat roadster->ke1418 that Volkswagen and Porsche collaboratively designed and built from 1969 to 1976.

In its latest episode, Petrolicious ran a profile on the "forgotten" Porsche and Jack Griffin, one of the few men who own the 914-6.

It's easy to overlook the 914-6 given the other models Porsche has developed that have gained more esteem. But there still lies an appeal for a sports car->ke506 that not only performs like a Porsche, but looks unique enough for Porsche faithful to consider it an outcast model to all other Porsches built before and after its arrival.

For his part, Griffin has developed a certain affinity and attachment to his 914-6, largely because of the way others have ignored the model throughout the years. It's still a Porsche, after all, and as far as this particular 914-6 is concerned, a powerful one at that.

The 914-6 was one of the fastest Porsches of its time, having later evolved into a race car when the 914-6 GT arrived in 1969.

Most people will name the 911 as the most iconic Porsche model of all time, and there's no use arguing against that notion. But don't forget models like the 914-6, which carved out a following of its own that, as Griffin proves, persists to this day.
