I dunno if one could say "Porsche looks". A lot of people think they're horribly ugly, and some think they're gorgeous.
The 914 looks like this:
They are 2-seaters with a targa top, very flat and low to the ground, and have the nickname "apple cart" in Europe. Personally, I like the way they look and I'm madly in love with the way they handle.
The great part is that, due to the very low weight, an engine swap will still mean that you can get 30+ mpg going 80+ mph on the highway. And still be a lot quicker and more nimble than pretty much anything else on the road. With the right tweaks, you can keep up with a Vette (so long as it's got a top speed governor).
