Looking for someone who can breathe new life into old phones, like Singer does with some Porsche models.

- rbanffy 2y agoI'd kill for an EV 914. Although I also loved the sound of that little engine.
- Etheryte 2y agoWhile I really like the idea, I think we're still too far out tech wise to make it a reality in a way that it would live up to the dream. EVs of today are really heavy and even with a fairly small range, I fear the weight from the batteries would butcher any kind of driving experience for a car like that. In time though, I hope we get plenty of old cars retrofitted to be EVs as the tech becomes lighter, cheaper and more standardized.
- rbanffy 2y agoThe 914 was always more toy than car anyway, so a short range is not really a deal breaker.
- toast0 2y agoPeople have been making EV VW Beetle since forever. The 914 is just a weird looking Beetle. :P Probably have to accept it would be a short range car for going to work in warm but not hot weather and not a touring car.
- Etheryte 2y agoThe point isn't that it can't be done, EV conversions have been done for decades at this point, but that you'll get a car that's a whale compared to the original.

- rbanffy 2y agoNow I need to find a 914 with a steering wheel on the right side (because of where I live).
