While the world has
been waiting for the Taycan, a tuning company was working on an electric
Porsche of their own. The car in question is a 1977 911 Coupe. Presented at the
2018 SEMA Show at the Toyo stand, it is the work of StreetFighter LA and
benefits from a Tesla electric motor.
Installing the
zero-emission powertrain was apparently a walk in the park, as it didn’t
require any body or chassis modifications. The electric motor uses most of the
original mounting holes of the car and is said to produce a very impressive 700
hp at the crank, and 563 hp at the wheels.
Details surrounding
the battery pack that provides the electric motor with the required juice are
scarce. We don’t even know anything about the range, or how quick the car is to 96 km/h, but we’ll update this story once we find out more about the
build.
In order to become
more visible among the heavily modified cars at SEMA, this classic 911 Coupe
has also received a wide body kit. It was fitted at StreetFighter LA and adds
massive bolt-on fender flares on all four corners, and contributes to the
vehicle’s special stance, alongside the adjustable suspension and BBS wheels.
The interior of
this 911 has been reupholstered and fitted with a roll cage, but since the
seats lack headrests, abusing the right pedal could severely strain your neck
muscles
