Porsche 911 (964) with a Tesla motor

Every year, in the United States, an event is held where unusual cars are presented. At this year’s SEMA Show, the attention of visitors was drawn to the Porsche 911 (964) with a Tesla engine.

The electrified Porsche 911 is the work of the Electric GT company. The car is equipped with larger wheel arches, a new bonnet, a new front hood, rear spoiler, and Hoosier A1 tires mounted on a set of black wheels. This increased the weight of the vehicle, but they found a solution in the Electric GT by shifting 55 percent of the weight to the rear.

It is powered by a Tesla electric motor with 436 hp (321 kW) and 331 lb-ft (448 Nm) of torque. The engine is equipped with a 47 kWh battery that, when fully charged, provides a range of 160 miles (257 kilometers). The battery can be charged up to 85 percent via a 6.6 kW charger in just 45 minutes.

The price of this equipment kit is $ 55,000. This amount does not include the price of the Porsche 911 (964) model.

Ferrari has introduced the BR20 coupe inspired by mid-20th century Ferrari coupes with features reminiscent of the 410 Superamerica and 500 Superfast models.

It is designed as a unique project for a special client, and is based on the modified GTC4 Lusso platform that was recently discontinued. The front has been redesigned and expanded with a front grille featuring unique horizontal slats and a carbon top element that connects it to other recent One-Off models.

The platform on which it was made is longer than the original. The BR20 is equipped with a new front grille with a carbon fiber insert, triangular intakes on front bumpers, large air outlets on the bonnet, carbon fiber side skirt extensions and a new diffuser.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in dark brown leather with white stitching, while the rear seats have been removed. The rear bench and luggage compartment are also upholstered in brown leather with oak accessories.

The Ferrari BR20 is powered by the same engine as the GTC4 Lusso. It is a 6.3-liter V12 engine with 681 hp (501 kW) and 514 lb-ft (697 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It rides on 20 inch wheels.
