Porsche Boxster with new Body kit

Recently, rumors have surfaced that Porsche could introduce a new generation of Porsche Boxster as an electric car. But even the current owners will not be deprived of some novelties.

Miles Works Automotive has prepared a special body kit for the existing model. The body kit brings a wider body which includes a new front bumper, a large front splitter like those on race cars, a new diffuser, a duck-tail rear spoiler, larger wheels, a new rear cover. The rear of the car is made in the style of the Clubsport model, it is slightly longer so that the rear lights look as if they have been sucked inside.

Inside, two carbon fiber sports seats stand out in a black interior. It seems that there will be no major changes inside, because the focus is on the exterior of the car. It is not known whether there will be a retractable fabric roof.

Overall, the car looks very nice, and for its appearance we should especially thank the 3D artist Mag Works.

Porsche 911 Quintessenza RS

At a time when the world is increasingly embracing electrification, more and more classic cars are turning into electric ones. The Dutch company Voitures Extravert has unveiled the Quintessenza RS, based on the Porsche 911 Carrera RS from the mid-1970s.

Voitures Extravert, which specializes in electric car conversions, has equipped Quintessenza RS with larger contemporary brakes, improved suspension, Electronic Magnetic Control suspension, Fuchs rims, Carrera stickers and a distinctive ducktail. It is powered by an electric ssenza 700 engine with 308 hp (227 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque.

“The original is definitely the best, but you don’t see them on the road today. The owners prefer to keep them in garages as valuable assets. That’s why we introduced the Quintessenza RS model,” said Martijn van Dijk, commercial director of Voitures.

It took several months for the car to be restored, which involved disassembling and reassembling the chassis. Car performance has not been announced.
