Daydream Porsche 911 (964)

Recently, many restomod Porsche cars can be seen at various events, and one of them made its debut at the New York Auto Show. It is the Daydream car, based on the Porsche 964, by Tedson Motors.

The company’s intention was to revive this car and present it in a more modern design. The front part is done in the style of the 992 model, especially the front and rear LED lights but with better aerodynamics. With much respect to the competition, Tedson Motors wanted to go a different route. Therefore, they developed Daydream based on the Porsche 911 (964) with a focus on a modern look.

The car was first scanned and then, using AutoCAD, the bumpers, mudguards, sills, lights and duck tail were adapted to the current millennium. All body panels except the roof and doors are made of carbon fiber, making it lighter than the standard model. “These improvements make the car more aggressive, but the original DNA remains intact as a testament to the brilliant design of the Porsche 911,” said Tedson Motors.

Daydream is available in Super Sport and Sport Classic versions. The Super Sport comes in black with lots of carbon and modern 18- or 19-inch rims. Both cars presented in America are Sport Classic models, with racing decals, equipped with Fuchs 17 or 18-inch rims and retro interior. They are also equipped with improved front and rear anti-roll bars, a complete Brembo braking system, a custom suspension and a hundred wide Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires.

When it comes to the powertrain, engineers disassembled the original 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine and increased its displacement to 4.0 liters, adding an electric motor between the engine and the transmission. The result is a very good 385 hp (283 kW) and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm) of torque available in standard mode. In Sport mode, the car has the full power of the internal combustion engine with 50 percent of the power of the electric motor, for 459 hp (338 kW) and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. In Sport Plus mode, the car unleashes its full output of 533 hp (392 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque.

The combination of Porsche Targa and Taycan

Porsche previously announced that it is going full electrification of all its models, and the only one that could remain with an internal combustion engine is the 911. Based on that information, an artist known as Sugar Chow created the Porsche 911E Targa.

The process of electrification is on the rise, and all major brands are working hard to introduce new electric models, increasing their offer. This did not exclude sports models either, and in this regard, a series of electric models will arrive from the Stuttgart-based company starting next year. The first in that series will be the new generation SUV model Macan. At the same time, Porsche announces that the legendary 911 will keep the internal combustion engine. However, in the imaginative realm of digital content creators, this interesting idea of an electric Porsche 911 992 has appeared.

At the end of 2018, the eighth generation of the legendary 911 series, the 992 model, was presented, joining a series of models: Carrera, Targa, Turbo and GT3. All these variants are interesting, but for many Targa is particularly interesting because of its specific roof. Currently, the 911 Targa models include the variants: Targa 4, Targa 4S, plus Targa 4 GTS. Their power is distributed in the range of 385 hp (283 kW) to 480 hp (353 kW), which in the most powerful version with the PDK transmission, reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 191 mph ( 307 km/h).

The design may look strange, but it is certainly an interesting combination. Sugar Chow blended the front end of the Taycan phenomenally with the body of the 911, while removing the rear exhaust system to create this illusion. Of course he didn’t deal with the powertrain of the car, after all he is only a visual creator.

When it comes to the powertrain, the current Porsche Taycan Turbo S is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 750 hp (560 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. This would require a lot of space to install a larger battery pack, which the Targa cannot provide. Therefore, a version with 530 hp (390 kW) with 472 lb-ft (640 Nm) of torque and a 71 kWh battery remains as an option.

Volvo EM90

The Swedish car manufacturer Volvo was founded before 1927 and could soon present its first minivan, the Volvo EM90. Now the first photo of this electric vehicle has been published.

Although the photo does not show the full design of the car, some details such as the double panoramic roof, with two separate areas for passengers in the front and rear seats, can be noticed. Some information says that the car could have three rows of seats, but this information has not been confirmed.

Other details that we can see are the illuminated Volvo logo on the back of this minivan and the taillights in the shape of the letter “T”. Also, thanks to the position of the handles, we can see that the car could have sliding doors.

Volvo has not yet revealed any technical details about its first minivan. What is certain is that the EM90 will only be offered as an all-electric model. The official presentation will take place on November 12, while the pre-orders for this minivan will be opened on the same day, initially exclusively for the Chinese market.
