Default 964EV

I don't see the point of going so far with the build and still keeping the tail pipes.

Thanks!
Andrew

That’s pretty funny. Maybe they can add a raspy sound generator…

I wonder what they did with the CCU?

Love my 964 and Tesla. A lot more economical to own them in their original form.

They botched that interior and those tail pipes need to go. Should have put a nice carbon diffuser in its place.

does seem odd to leave a faux exhaust, but maybe they thought having nothing there was worse.

i'd never trade anything i have for it, but i'd certainly like to feel the torque and acceleration a couple of times. the immediacy of electric motors is pretty crazy!

Yeah, weird to keep the pipes. I'd like to see pics of the engine and front bonnet bays..

another set of 964s gets a different re-imagination--- less and less 964s that keeps to the original ethos at least.
i wonder if they can create a front wheel electric drive to help on power/torque, and keep the NA engine.

The exhaust generates simulated internal combustion noises.

Well, close but no cigar. The body kit is a nice Singer knock off. The rest of the car is meh. The price though! Holy ****. Buy two Taycans for that.

I'd rather convert it to EV and keep the rest looking as normal as possible. Drop everything ICE related.
As for the CCU, you'd ditch it but would have to keep your 12v battery and wiring from it such as your lights, horn, radio etc.
Do a dash like Bisimoto or Jonte.
Other parts I think you'd also lose, depending on the EV drive train you go with, would be the traction control stuff and ABS.
At least that's the path I'm noodling.

Yes, you either have the recorded sound coming out of these speakers or the vacuum cleaner whir noise if you turn them off - that vacuum noise is actually the sound of the last of the poor vehicle’s soul being sucked out of it.

Someone should buy it and restore it back to it's air-cooled glory.
