The Cheapest Porsche Around
The Porsche has always been considered an expensive sports car that only successful people can afford. But in the 1960s and ’70s, that changed as the mid-engined Porsche was released to appease a young generation of shoppers. The car had a paltry price tag of $3,995. The cheap price got you a mid-engined sports car with reasonable handling and performance. Likewise, there was a lot to enjoy about the styling of the car too which was unique for the time (via Driving Todays).
Needless to say, this wasn’t the most popular Porsche ever made but it managed to sell quite well. To this day the mid-engined Porsche was one of the best marketing plans from the executives at Porsche yet. The unique design and one-of-a-kind performance were unlike anything else.
