The direct successor to yesterday’s Porsche 356 - and this one was popular with the Dutch and German police too - was the 912, which was basically a four-cylinder version of the 911. I was quite excited to see this 912 at the recent #SMMT Test Day, which turned out to be not quite what it seemed. This particular car is an electric conversion (see the black battery box under the raised engine cover). Beautifully executed. (1/2)

The conversion retains the weight distribution of the original car, and is reversible. This car also has a CCS rapid charging port which is a bit unusual on a classic conversion. (2/2)

@davidwilkins Well done...but if the weight distribution can be the same, do they keep the weight in the limits supported by the chassis ?
There are also more strong standards for New EV than for restromod for mounting companies. Standards are mainlly for Battery companies.

@icemanfr75 I believe it’s weight neutral (see reply of @BrianSmith950)
