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.

Porsche 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid

A few days ago, a video appeared on YouTube showing a Porsche 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid. For some it is expected, for others it is not. This is not the first 911 Hybrid since Porsche produced the 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car, but it is the first road-legal.

In the video, which lasts a little less than two minutes, and which was shot on the Nurburgring race track, the car has no camouflage, so it can be concluded that the biggest changes can be expected under the hood. According to CarSpyMedia, the car will not have an 800 volt-electrical-system, as is the case with the Porsche Taycan, but a 400 volt-electrical system. The tinted rear windows hide the batteries located behind the front seats.

Earlier, the CEO of Porsche said that the 911 Hybrid should be the leader of the new generation of models from the 911 family (992). For now, there is no information about the performance of this car, but it can be guessed that it will be more powerful than the Turbo S model.

The introduction of the 911 Turbo S E-Hybrid is expected in 2023, while the first models should arrive on the market in early 2024.

Unique Porsche 911 GT3 made for Paolo Barilla

Once again, it turned out to be true that money can do anything. Porsche made a special model Porsche 911 GT3 for Paolo Barilla, who won Le Mans in 1985 as the driver of a racing Porsche 956B.

Paolo Barilla wanted the 911 GT3 to be done in the colors of the 1985 Porsche 956B. It took three years to realize the project, as Barilla waited for Porsche to build a new GT3 based on the 992 Series. The result was a unique Coupé in the colors of the winning 956B with the number “7” that had the original 1985 race car.

Among the details that make the 911 GT3 unique are the Barilla signature plates on the B-roof rack, the Le Mans track sketch sewn on the headrests, the sill plates, the new rear spoiler and the magnesium gear lever modeled on the lever from the Porsche 956B.

The price of the special model has not been announced, but it is clear that for the Deputy Chairman of the Barilla Group money was not an issue. According to Forbes, Barilla’s wealth is $ 1.39 billion, and the car was a gift for his 60th birthday.
