Anyone know these guys? Looks clean. I would have preferred keeping the interior more original, but each their own. |

I would have preferred keeping the interior more original, but each their own. The cars were done by Electric Classic Car in the UK. The conversions are completely bolt in. I don't really care for the front battery pack location, it moves the weight too far forward. They can always change it as batteries advance. The interior is of a different 914 than the exterior shots. The one with the custom interior belongs to Jonny from Classic Retro Fit who does the electric air continuing systems for the air cooled 911 and is member here. |

Always thought the battery pack from an early T-Roadster would fit nicely in the 914 engine bay. From there, just use a single motor and transaxle from same T-Roadster. Yes, no more shifting, but it sure seems like it'd fit nicely.

It would never fit. The modules and electronics from those packs are getting rare and expensive as people try to keep them going. Tesla is nothing like Porsche when it comes to parts and service. Cell phone on wheels when it is broken throw it away. A year or two after the Model S was in production Tesla sent the Roadster parts to the landfill. |
