1968 Porsche 911 Targa SWB soft window, our first Elevate project. Found without an engine, it was an optimal candidate for the conversion. Kept in its spirit, the car features the original gear box, allowing for driver to shift gears manually, and the electric train was chosen to deliver similar HP (at more instant torque) compared to its original counterpart, making it truly fun but still authentic to drive.

Interior of the car was fully restored according to time-correct available options; the car features (among other things) leather pepita seats, wooden rim steering wheel, and the original gear-lever. Only small details such as the Elevate logo let careful observers know that the car is somewhat different. 

Front trunk space is used for the battery pack, but enough space is left for passengers's luggage. Everything in the front is hidden behind the carpet, keeping the area totally clean and lean.

The engine bay reassembles the original 6-cylinder setup and is kept lean and clean. The electric engine, hidden below the cover, is mounted in the original engine suspension, and connected directly to the gearbox with a clutch in between.

The car features an (up to) 3.5 kW charger, with a charging socket under the license plate. Charging inlet in the back occasionally creates confusion at the charging station or in the garage, especially when parked next to similar-period Porsche vehicles :-)
