For Sale: Luc Donckerwolke’s RUF-Modified 1970 Porsche 914/6

Key Points:

• This 1970 Porsche 914/6, originally delivered in Lemon Yellow to Belgium, was upgraded to M471 GT specification in 1975 by Antwerpse Automobile Company with steel fender flares, chassis reinforcements, and wider wheels for a more competition-focused setup.
• Automotive designer Luc Donckerwolke, known for designing Lamborghini and Bentley models and currently President of Hyundai Motor Group, purchased the car in 2020 and commissioned RUF in Germany for an extensive rebuild including a repaint to Grand Prix White, lightweight fiberglass panels, upgraded brakes, and enhanced engine performance.
• RUF rebuilt the flat-six engine to 2.4 liters with twin-plug heads, triple Weber carburetors, and a stainless exhaust, sending power through a 5-speed manual transaxle with limited-slip differential; the interior was also upgraded with racing seats, harnesses, roll cage, and Alcantara trim.
• The Porsche 914/6 is a rare model with only 3,338 produced, originally designed as a joint Porsche-Volkswagen project with a focus on affordability and fun, but it faced stiff competition from models like the 911 and Datsun 240Z; it also had notable motorsport success in the early 1970s.
• The car is currently offered for sale in Erlangen, Germany, complete with Porsche certification, service records, and documentation, reflecting its rich history and extensive modifications by both Antwerpse Automobile Company and RUF.
