I think this has been done in VW buses, sand rails, and a Cobra - could be neat in a 914. And it would likely be a massive improvement over the rear suspension geometry as well.
Rear Track of a Model S is 67", Factory 914 is 55" - nothing some wide flares can't accommodate. -Steve |

While the Tesla would be the ultimate, there are some other crazy cool conversions going on, with my favorite on the DIY EV forum being a Lexus hybrid SUV transaxle into a BMW 3-series sedan. The SUV transaxle has two electric motors inside it, similar to but stronger than the Prius set-up, and can turn the driveshaft without an IC engine on the other end.
The Telsla motor is the perfect layout for the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) There was a guy trying it, who started over a year ago, in Sacramento I think.... It's here on 914World somewhere.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The now discontinued Chevy Spark had an EV motor that put out 400 ft/lb torque. That would be an awesome junk-yard DIY budget hot-rod. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
