Crazy Electric Porsche 911 By Zelectric Motors (Photos)
Have you ever thought you'd live to see the day when a Porsche 911 is electric? Thanks to Zelectric Motors, the crazy day has finally arrived.
1. Zelectric Motors
Zelectric Motors is a company based in San Diego, California. They specialize in turning classic Volkswagens into electric-powered vehicles that can go the distance. They switch VW engines with 100% electric powertrains, as well as modify and upgrade the classics. The company can handle roughly 10 vehicles per year, and the starting price for one of these vehicles is $68,000. This time, however, they took it a step further.

4. Electric Performance
With quite a major engine replacement, you would think that the weight distribution would be completely off, but the 43:57 weight distribution has not changed at all. The electric conversion adds 300 pounds, but the conversion puts out more power than the original flat-six 2.4-liter engine. The new setup allows for a maximum speed of 150 mph, as well as faster 0 to 60 mph time.

5. Efficiency
The Zelectric conversion adds more power to the classic Porsche, as well as higher top speed, so is there a catch? Since it is an all-electric vehicle, you can't just go until you find a gas station. However, the range on this Porsche is quite impressive, as it allows you to go for 180 miles, on an eight-hour charge. The lifespan of the battery is 12 to 15 years, which is also quite impressive.
