For Porsche purists who can't bear to part with their classics, this all-electric conversion kit by Electrogenic might just be the answer. It's powerful, speedy, and bolts right in without any chassis modifications.
for a smooth and quiet electric motor, removing the flat-six from a 911 seems almost sacrilegious: like remixing “Love Me Do” with a pounding EDM bass line.We’ll get to the emotive issues shortly, including what this Porsche is like to drive, but let’s examine the nuts and, well, volts of the conversion first. Suitable for any G-series 911 or, the electric-conversion kit bolts in without any chassis modifications, so the process is fully reversible.
With the Electrogenic E62s package, the motor output is bolstered to 240 kw, allowing a 300 hp charge from zero to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.With both kit options, real-world range is between 180 miles and 200 miles, while a maximum charging speed of 50 kw allows a full fill-up in one hour using a public rapid charger. With a home wallbox, charging from empty takes up to 8 hours.
This 1985 3.2 Carrera has been “backdated” to resemble a 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS, complete with signature ducktail.Aside from a retrim in tasteful tan leather, this 911’s cabin also looks near-stock. Its five-dial display is still present and correct , although the fuel gauge has been replaced by a battery-charge indicator. The obvious difference is the absence of a gear lever: replaced by a rotary switch to select neutral, drive, or reverse.
Going fast and sideways in the electric Porsche is great fun. The vehicle blends the analog and the digital in a way that most electric cars singularly fail to do. Yet something is missing, too. Without a flat-six behind the rear axle, there’s no high-rev howl, no visceral vibrations, no sense of mechanical connection. It feels more like a 911 simulator than the real thing.
