Default Electric 964?!

Saw this today at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas. COTA had a Chin track day and I came across this. It may be a RWB build, I'm not absolutely sure though, check the sig on the gas lid .

Not a 964 but possibly an indication of the future for some cars. https://www.influx.co.uk/cars/electric-911/

I can’t speak to this specific car but in many of the conversions I’ve seen a manual is preferred because it simplifies the conversion.

This came up on pelican last year. If the build quality doesn't kill you, then the steel roll bar directly behind your un-protected head most certainly will. Another "brilliant" sema car.

That would be appealing to me. Can have my cake and eat it too.

I have doing a lot of reading on a electric conversion. Yes, they keep the transmission from the petrol motor.

Nick , I’m guessing you are not a fan ? To be honest , I’m not a RWB guy but to each his own. Also, I like gas engines , I know we’ll have to say bye one day. I followed the link but can’t understand what your issue is ?
