Many may not care, but i personally like how the spare tire was preserved and the added charging cable is stored just in front of it - a clean design that almost looks “factory.”
Absolutely amazing, I think it's incredibly epic that the car has a standard shifter. WTF is wrong with modern car manufacturers forgetting the thrills of driving stick.
Love it! And to the purists who say this conversion is a sacrilege: isn't taking this beautiful classic into the 21st century and enabling it to be a current, modernized vehicle that still embodies its original character the best way of honouring its heritage, its status as a design-icon and above all, its purpose? Man I wish I could afford one!! 😅 All the best from Munich/Germany
This car is beautiful. I'd have my family crest etched in the front battery box cover. That would stand out since the car will most likely be passed down to family generations. Incredible job guys!
Wow, the Porsche 356 is sex on wheels, with electric conversion it is????? fabulous conversion Moggy, when I win the lottery I will have to find a sweet 356 and deliver it to you for the magic to occur. Great video content as always. 356 is the best Porsche for me. 😀❤💯
this has got to be the best electric car channel especially with all the retro cars but what gets me is how unpopular electric cars are just look at the views on all channels its very poor considering you have even had tv promotion, something really need to be done about costs and distance as its no where near as cheap or economical as they try to convince the general population, better battery tech is needed and it need to not be so polluting to produce plus the charging them is not environmentally friendly either as most of the worlds electric still comes from fosil
Absolutely stunning! Love the idea of retaining the gearbox for that fully interactive experience. Also love the noise the electric motor is making! The Porsche 944 also has a central jacking point on each side :)
Thanks for the video. I have been looking forward to seeing the finished result for a long time, Very beautiful! is the correct description. And yes. It is one of the most harmonious and complete designs - and also my Porche favourite!
That looks and SOUNDS more like it BELONGS on that Welsh road. The driver can have fun without disturbing the sheep and stinking up the surrounding air! I adore this car! Sheer perfection! Much aloha to you and your car-building crew!
Another extremely professional conversation to, not just the best looking Porsche, but the best looking 356, before they went a bit ‘bulky’ ❤ I loved my 356 engined Beetles but would now prefer your electric conversion kit! No more oil smoke and fumes coming out of the heater channels, especially with a 356 motor conversion 😂
What a stunning Porsche and a beautiful EV conversion - you guys have done amazing and I feel sure the lucky customer in Scotland will be chuffed to bits, too...! 😎
Absolutely stunning. Absolutely impractical, even with an electric engine, but such a beautiful piece of engineering. I wish China would make 100,000 of these just for lols. I don't care about cars but I'd buy one.
hey I've driven that! 1300cc something like 30hp, painfully slow, plus the rear suspensions sagging and creating huge camber. But I think it had the rear window in 2 pieces, not single like that.
It is the prettiest, despite looking even more like a beetle gt than the 911. Great piece of work - looks good, and seems a good retromod - better than the original with modern tech.

Dominic Chinea { Vlog }, is restoring an original, and the amount of metal he's cutting out, doesn't bear thinking about ! There's a guy here in Thailand who makes GRP /Fibreglass shells for those 356's ! Stay Silent ! Stu xx
Brilliant work guys. I'd lose the bumper overriders for a euro spec look, but the 356A coupe is one of my favorite looking cars, preA is even prettier. I also love the Jaguar XK140 coupe from the same era.
Really nice car 👍 I like the fact, that you took the original gearshifter in place . Your question for the most beautiful Porsche 356 B convertible, from my perspective.
Like how you kept some ties to the original like the gearbox. It would be interesting to analyse two comparisons: 1) Compare to geared gas version. How much does the torque curve change between to the two? Also compare how much the engine and exhaust plays into the driving satisfaction? 2) Compare to non geared electric. Does geared EV need to be lower powered to really benefit? Does it affect EV distance? What about a larger, non geared EV on corners? Does it lag? Do you feel like you need to go larger rear tires to benefit? Would a larger porsch gearbox support a larger EV engine 3) Bonus question: Why not a sleeper 356 with AWD EV?
❤😂😢😮😅😮😢😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 that’s a bad ass 356A and I wish I could buy a electric car of a Ford, but I’m kind of scared because of the saying that they’re having problems with batteries catching on fire and there was a junkyard where I live got the car caught on fire they put it out There was a fire at the junkyard started again after when it was out and was smothering so that’s why I’m worried about buying electric but they’re working on getting it better. I like your video the 356.
I’d have liked a closer look at the gauges. Presumably the faces of the speedometer and rev counter are unchanged (or are they modified for a higher max rpm and top speed?) what about the fuel gauge?
Is there a prettier car than the 356? Hmmm...the Jaguar XKE is pretty nice, particularly in coupe form, and the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe has its charms, still I'm a fan of the 356. One of the few European classics I've really wanted.
Weight is the same as it was when petrol with a full tank of fuel. Range depends as always on how and where you drive it but as a rule it’s around 100-120 mile range driving normally on A roads here in mid Wales. 👍
@@ElectricClassicCars welldone keeping the weight the same. With the electric drive train i hope the lucky owner enjoys putting loads of miles on her. Keep up the good work 👍
It would depend on the efficiency map of the motor and the gear ratios, however a gearbox can hold a motor in its most efficient rev range so I’d say a motor attached to a gearbox would be more efficient for range. 👍
Datsun Roadsters i.e. SP310 and SR311 have a central jack point :) mid point of balance. p.s. still waiting on a Datsun 240z conversion! Hit up MZR Roadsports and do a Collab !!! 💯
Beautiful! I’m probably being stupid but I don’t understand how changing gears helps with an electric motor? If the torque curve is flat the motor exerts the same torque at low revs as high. The gearbox is used in an ICE engine because it has low torque at low revs so needs gears to keep the engine revving. If changing gears is to protect the gearbox surely top gear where the drive runs straight through rather than via lay shafts is safer? Again I’m probably missing something but it left me a bit puzzled! Or is it that older drivers miss changing gears and need something to do!!!
Welcome back guys, been a while. Question, when it comes down to economy, or range, with a petrol engine, using a transmission (primarily the overdrive) you'll get more range. Why can't the same principle be used with electric vehicles?
Question. I’m currently working on installing the same hyper 9 setup in a 1966 Karmann Ghia. Similar car…but definitely not as cool as the Porsche. How did you set a clutch switch to signal the regen-on-neutral braking to pause between shifts?
You certainly don’t want to give that old gearbox full torque immediately, that’s why we program the motor/controller to introduce the torque more gradually. 👍
If the original drivetrain, clutch, gearbox and driveshafts were rated for the original 60HP would it not make more sense to use around 60HP electric and get better range, what is the weight compared to the original?
Besides the obvious reason that if you are re-engining a sports car it is unlikely that the owner is going to keep the same power as the original engine they are going to want it to go faster . The less obvious reason is that sub 100hp engined cars are dangerous in modern conditions. They do not keep up with modern traffic and are just traffic barriers on any sort of hill.
@@francesconicoletti2547 Power to weight ratio is key, not HP figures alone, the 356 weighs 820Kg it has a top speed of 110mph and 0 to 60 of 13.5 seconds with that 60HP Todays cars are far heavier so need more HP to propel the extra weight.
❤😂😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 and please when I say comments people don’t get back to me. I don’t like that so I did a good comment about 356A Porsche that’s one bad ass Porsche
Before I watch the video, I was going to say butchered. I actually quite liked it when I saw it. You’ve done a good job, but personally I would’ve still preferred to have kept the original engine.
@@watcher24601Here are the specs for the 356A - Rear wheel drive coupé passenger car with a rear located engine, produced by Porsche. The power is produced by a naturally aspirated engine of 1.6 litre capacity. This unit features overhead valve valve gear, 4 cylinder layout, and 2 valves per cylinder. It develops 59 bhp (60 PS/44 kW) of power at 4500 rpm, and maximum torque of 110 N·m (81 lb·ft/11.2 kgm) at 2800 rpm. A 4 speed manual gearbox delivers the power to the driven wheels. Its stated weight at the kerb is 820 kg. The Porsche 356 An is said to be able to attain a maximum speed of 177 km/h which is 110 mph. 0-60 is 13.5 seconds Pretty much in keeping for the age that low weight would have given nimble handling we don't know the weight of the conversion though.

Beautiful - looks like a 1950s-imagined spaceship and sounds like one!
The 356 series was and still is the most beautiful and sensual two-door sports car Porsche ever put out.
You've outdone yourself. What a beauty! Congrats to the owner!
Thank you very much!

Excellent year 1958.
Front battery cover in black would look exactly right in there.

Modern Porsches look purposeful but cannot be described as pretty, this car is definitely pretty and beautiful.
Where did it all go so wrong?
Brilliant Porsche Butt! ❤
Love what you do, guys... and I'd really like to get my hands on some of the cars you built. But to convert a 356? I gotta say, it hurts somewhat...
Really nice car 👍 I like the fact, that you took the original gearshifter in place . Your question for the most beautiful Porsche 356 B convertible, from my perspective.

Electrified 356A Speedster is my dream car. Please do a build and let me know how I can order one from you for delivery to the States!
Is there regen? One-pedal driving?
Did you replace the original brakes with disc brakes? And I suppose with 30 kWh it has about 100 miles of range?
See video description for details. 👍
Does the original gearbox limit the efficiency of the motor, when compared to direct drive? Either way, great work and thank you for sharing.

Speak to Hunter from Netgain Motors, he can help you out. 👍
What is behind the front seats, you didn’t show…
Some small rear seats and a luggage compartment when the seats are folded down. 👍
Is torque an issue for that gearbox?
I’m guessing the electric drive produces much more torque than the old petrol engine, no ?
You certainly don’t want to give that old gearbox full torque immediately, that’s why we program the motor/controller to introduce the torque more gradually. 👍
Same style and type of single jacking point in FIAT/SEAT 600 and 500
talking of beautiful porshes ever built ... there is the 550 spyder.
I am a diehard manual fan, but I feel like if i were building an EV conversion I'd want it to be single speed direct drive.
