The Porsche 914 is one of the brand’s most unique-looking sports cars, and as a result, it has long captivated enthusiasts around the world. However, now more than 55 years old, it’s a far cry from the performance and refinement of modern Porsches—until Fifteen Eleven Design gets their hands on one. Their reimagined 914 transforms the once entry-level Porsche into a next-level fusion of cutting-edge performance and bespoke luxury.

At the heart of the build is a mid-mounted flat-six engine sourced from the Porsche 987, re-engineered to produce a stunning 380 horsepower. Buyers can choose between a 3.8-liter or 4.0-liter version, both featuring forged pistons, strengthened steel internals, and a Life Racing ECU—tripling the power output of the original 1.8L four-cylinder. That power is delivered through a 6-speed manual transmission, offering precise, full-range control.

Underneath, Reiger three-way adjustable coilovers work with a fully re-engineered suspension geometry to provide an entirely new ride feel and handling balance. Stopping power is handled by Brembo 4- or 6-piston calipers clamping down on cross-drilled and vented discs, all connected to an AP Racing pedal box. Completing the performance setup are 18-inch Fuchs-style wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, providing grip and control to match the car’s newfound power.

The body has been updated with hand-laid carbon fiber, a widened stance, and a redesigned hood and bumper to optimize airflow. A ducktail spoiler, LED projector headlights, and integrated “Moby Dick” rally-style driving lights add modern function while paying tribute to Porsche’s racing heritage—all seamlessly blended into the car’s refreshed silhouette.

The upgrades continue inside, where the cabin is wrapped in bespoke leather, and custom bucket seats offer improved comfort and support. Redesigned bulkheads also increase legroom, addressing one of the original 914’s most common complaints.

With a planned production run of just 50 units, this reimagined 914 is a rare opportunity to own a fully modernized icon—built not just to be admired, but driven hard.
