Fifteen Eleven Design 914 Options

[JAY READ]

Just dropped my video on what might be the wildest 914 ever built. I had it for an afternoon and loved it!

380bhp. Carbon panels. 1 ton. And not built by Porsche.


Curious what the 914 community thinks. Link below…

Fifteen Eleven Design 914 Review

I would say drop the power train into one of our original 914's and you would have an absolutely awesome car.

I would say drop the power train into one of our original 914's and you would have an absolutely awesome car.

you would not get the same result chassis/suspension wise.
they have ditched 914 suspension entirely.
mounting points - everything. all gone.
thats half of what they have done besides the power train.

as to the fugly front end. you got to do something.
even my banana skin pulling 1.8 can lift its front end at 95 mph and not in a nice way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

at first i did not like this pommy resto-mod.
but the more i look the more i see that would be rather interesting.
(but of course you got to have the $ to ignite to be interested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

the first car they did was right hand drive.
which i thought was interesting and probably added more cost to one that was left hand drive. but now i can see they modify the firewall the same whether right hand drive or left hand drive. to accomodate the cayman steering rack and set up. its not a centre rack like vintage 914/911.

they end up producing what a genuine factory 914 rhd might have been.
ie a mirror fire wall and mirror fuel tank reproducing the beautiful weight distribution that a lhd 914 has. drive on one side. fuel and battery on the other side.

its the one flaw of every rhd converted 914, mine included. all weight stacks up one side of the car. the cars were never originally converted this way as it was just so much more cost to even contemplate the amount of work involved.

i'd say their left hand drive and right hand drive versions are identical and mirrors of each other and involve the same amount of work in the firewall - fuel tank area.

i wouldn't mind driving one of these. i reckon it would be pretty good. very stiff. they have done a lot of work - nicely done with extra long members and centre tunnel reinforcing. it would not drive like a 914. nor would it drive like a boxster. i tend to think it would be better than both?

it took me a while to find the images of the firewall area and front trunk.
but you can see whats going on. this is the original rhd demo car they made.







i am coming around to it.
i think they will get a few takers for this in the uk and europe.

but......it ends up way too expensive by the time you got one down here.
you would be looking at 1 M + aud.
