Very complete, great acceleration and range in an all-electric classic car with Targa-top, and more… This 73 Porsche 914 has been thoroughly restored from bumper to bumper by a long list of experts. It has earned car show awards and was featured in Excellence Magazine. The LiFePO4 traction battery pack has only 2000 miles on it. The pack is made up of one hundred and two CALB 100Ah cells, giving it 32.64 kW/hr of energy. This allows for great range as well as a stiff traction pack (minimal voltage sag) to provide high power for acceleration. A Zilla EHV 2000A controller delivers that power to a 9" ADC motor, modified by Jim Husted. Acceleration is incredible. Not formally timed, estimated confidently to be capable of a 0-60mph in under 6 seconds (with the controller limited to just 1400A). Range is above 130 miles on one charge (demonstrated with mixed driving). In comparison, a Nissan Leaf has a practical range of approximately 70 miles, and is not as fun to drive! The charger is an efficient and safe 6kW Elcon, Charge anywhere with several options, including J1772, plus standard 220V and 110V outlets. Typical 220V charge time is about 2x what you spend driving. But with range like this, charging is something you do at the end of the day (or week), depending on your driving needs. Inside the car, the dash has a custom built gage cluster with a nice production finish. Dash lights including "motor on", and warning indicators are nicely integrated. Heat up the cabin allmost instantly with 3000 Watts of direct air heating. State of charge is displayed digitally in “percent remaining”. In addition to conversion to electric, many other upgrades were implemented. To list a few, racing suspension, brake system, clutch system, Upgraded (V8) half shafts/CV joints, Low rolling resistance tires, rare wheels & steering wheel, new leather interior, transmission professionally customized for extra torque. Too much to list here. Vehicle is located near Central Oregon. Full description is available at shiftev.com. Isn’t it time to put the top in the trunk and go for a road trip?

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Chris Harris condemns demonization of Porsche Carrera GT in wake of Walker death
Fri, 06 Dec 2013When something bad happens, it's easy to resort to scapegoating. At least for some of us, that seems to be exactly what has happened following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas, who were killed on November 30 in a Porsche Carrera GT. Even though officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash, that isn't stopping many theories from being put for - theories that include blaming the Porsche supercar. Rather predictably, not only is the CGT's difficult nature getting examined, but indeed, the nature of all high-performance cars is being put under the public's microscope, with some wondering what the need for all the power is.
A Google search of "Porsche Carrera GT" will find no shortage of articles about the razor-sharp handling and outright speed of the CGT. Pistonheads' Chris Harris has a different, insightful take on both the Carrera GT and the nature of all fast cars. He reflects on the matter, ironically, en route to drive the successor to the car that killed Walker and Rodas, the 900-horsepower 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
We think it's well worth a read, as it makes a number of good points about modern high-performance automobiles and the way they're used. Click over and take a look.
Force India F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg will drive a Porsche at Le Mans
Mon, Dec 1 2014Sahara Force India Formula One driver Nico Hulkenberg is officially part of the Porsche factory team for next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans; the last time a current F1 driver got permission from his team to compete in the world's biggest endurance race was in 2009 when Toro Rosso let Sebastien Bourdais pilot for Peugeot. That will make it an even busier May and June for Hulkenberg, who will get to know the 919 Hybrid in race trim by driving the 6 Hours of Spa on May 2. He'll follow that with two F1 races in May, then do the Le Mans practice day on May 31, race for Force India at the Canadian Grand Prix on June 7, be in action for Porsche at Le Mans the next weekend, then back in a Force India the following weekend in Austria. Hulkenberg is the first driver to be named for Porsche's third LMP1 in next year's race, and we already know that former F1 colleague Mark Webber will be in one of the other cars. The other two drivers joining the German haven't been named yet, but speculation is that Porsche GT drivers in the manufacturer team are on the shortlist. Numerous observers also think it could be a suitable job for a certain Englishman who might have competed in his last race for McLaren...
