Porsche 911 Restomod with BMW powertrain

In the world of Porsche 911 we have already seen several successful aftermarket restomod projects based on this sports car. So far, there have been examples with conventional engines, but also electrical transformations for almost all older generations of coupes. However, now the Bulgarian company Modern Classics has presented a pilot project based on the Porsche 911 from the G series.

The original design from the 70s has been retained. The car is equipped with ABS, ESP, BMW infotainment system with controls on the center console. The cluster contains analog dials in the same configuration as in the case of the original vehicle.

The Porsche 911 is powered by a BMW electric motor that develops 184 hp (135 kW). The same engine is used by the more powerful versions of the previous BMW i3. It may not sound like much, but it is still more powerful than the original Carrera from the 70’s. It reaches 62 mph in 6.8 seconds and reaches a top electronically limited speed of 160 km / h.

It is equipped with a 42 kWh battery, which is enough for a range of 250 kilometers on a single charge. Two charging options are available, slow AC charging with a maximum power of 11 kW and fast DC charging up to 50 kW. This means that the mentioned battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent of capacity in about 30 minutes.
