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?

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.
A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sat, 14 Jun 2014The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
