“The drive unit was put on a dyno and got to 600 BHP, then it overheated the dyno!”in the UK is proud of his work converting an iconic 1977 Porsche 911. Some will call it sacrilege, but hey, the customer sold the original engine to help pay for this conversion, so another 911 owner is happy too. That makes two happy 911 owners. Everybody wins.
— now that the design has been completed, it can be repeated into any Porsche 911 S model from 1974 to 1977. As mentioned this customer sold the original engine to pay for the conversion, but the same pickup points as the original are used so it’s possible to swap back.
Excluding the car itself, eDub Services is charging £89,000 for this conversion for all the features mentioned, and while that might sound expensive, and obviously is for most people, consider the care taken to preserve the integrity of the original and that it is now a clean and very mean driving machine.
In any case, the only thing missing is the sound, and maybe the gearbox, and the smell, and… I get that this kind of work is divisive, but I also think there is plenty of room for both inclinations, and the variations within.
I think EV's will become more ubiquitous if some manufacturers create 'box' motors or conversion kits for older cars. Years ago, I could get a rebuilt motor for my car for less than $1000; better than $32000!
Its a great idea but crash protection is non existent 😬
