Two prototype 914s, dubbed ''914/8'' generally and called ''914/S'' by Porsche, were built during 1969.<ref name="porsche-50years"/>{{#tag:ref| A four-cylinder car called the 914S was offered in the United States for a short time. It was withdrawn at the request of the factory.<ref name="mt-1973"/>|group=lower-alpha}} An orange 914/8 was the first constructed, at the instigation of [[Ferdinand Piëch]] (then head of the racing department), to prove the concept. Powered by a {{cvt|350|hp|kW PS|0}} Type 908 [[Flat-eight engine|flat-eight]] racing engine, it was built using a surplus handbuilt 914 development prototype bodyshell, chassis No. 914111, and included many differences from the standard vehicle, such as quad headlamps.<ref name="long914book"/>{{rp|161, 162}} The second 914/8, a silver, road-registered car powered by a carburetted and detuned 908 race engine making {{cvt|300|hp|kW PS|0}}, was prepared as a gift to [[Ferry Porsche]] on his 60th birthday. Also based on a spare prototype shell (chassis No. 914006), it was much closer to the standard car in detail. By all accounts Ferry didn't like the car very much and it is now in the Porsche Museum. Neither car saw a racetrack except for the purposes of testing. The 914/8 was not considered for production as a regular model.
