Couldn't help but think what it would be like to use this motor in a 914.

$10K to convert the car, then another grand or so every other year to buy new batteries, which also add 500lbs to the car. Pure electric simply isn't the way to go (yet). I'd be all in favor of a pure hydrogen IC engine, or a well-thought out hybrid (tiny one-speed IC engine keeping batteries recharged which actually drive the car through electric motors).
