Having a brain fart (don't want to talk about this idea yet).. and I want to know if anyone knows the HP required to drive a 914 down a level road at 60 mph? Let's assume that it is bone stock. I know it takes less than 76 HP.. or the 1.7/1.8 would never be able to hold freeway speed.

It seemed to be very efficent on the Town car. I only got to see the car run one time. He said that with the factory 26 gallon tank, he could get from Texas to NY city on one tank of gas. But it said it sucked only being able to do 20 mph and having to stop for 1 hour every 20 miles when driving in the mountains. He figured that the engine/pump, and the accumulator needed to be bigger to be able to run in the mountains.
He actually built this from spares from his forklift repair business, so the parts were not optimized for the car. It had a flat out top speed of 68 mph (max speed of the motors), and no regenerative braking. I figure with the better aerodynamics of a 914, plus better matched hydraulic motors, a bigger or multiple accumulators, and regenerative braking, I could get 140mph and 100 MPG with tire boiling accelleration from 17 hp. Am I crazy? |
