I'd totally rock it. It was good of them to convert a 912 to electric and not ruin a 911. Kinda like engine swapping a Datsun 280z vs an original 240z.
Not for me, I am 54 years old and it is hard to drain the petro out of me. I see this as an ending to everything I once love, I don't even read any new car magazines that has an electric vehicle. It is not the car that is doing most of the polluting. Jets, locomotives, diesel trucks ,industrial, and yes cows pollute more. Instead of doing away with the gas engine here is a solution, use electric for public transportation, hybrid heavy trucks, full electrification of locomotives (even freight), also make it mandatory for cargo ships to be hybrid power, and we'll as for cows, do we really need that hamburger.
I used to eat fast food several times a week and, at certain points, once every day. I do go to a fast food place for a burger bc I haven't given up meat, but the frequency is wayyy down. I savor it more, too, bc it's become kinda special. I think of the image of a pro NFL player (definitely not me) sitting in a fast food place completely lost in his burger as a team staff member sat on his device next to this guy. I don't think I've ever seen a more satisfied person with their food. But the factory farming deal and environmental effects have put me off of taking the cheap, garbage, addictive burgers for granted when I eventually do have one.
@@KreepCA That's a hard road friend. I skip that route and have my wife make juicy lucys to perfection and all of the trimmings of course. Not fast, but really gooooood yuuummmmm.
EXACTLY. As you already know, it's not truly about being "green", but about control. The same ones looking to take all ICE cars & tax them out of realistic ownership are the same ones getting into their private jets. Who's going to tax their private jets out of realistic ownership?? How "green" is it to produce fleets of unserviceable throwaway cars that are designed to fail? "It's not shiny enough, throw away, get a new one!" Yeah. Something is being helped & it's not the environment.
Owing a real car in the future will be like being a smoker today governments will tax ridiculously and people will glare at you I’m not a smoker today but I will own a real car my 1970 Mazda Rx2 in future and wear the expensive fuel and the glare of others Electric cars are boring full stop
The 912 is like looking at a 911 and driving a 356. The electric brings back the performance and more but it looses that sensory input from the engine that is so engaging.
If you can get a message to Magnus that there 's a company in the UK who have nailed th electric vintage experience, they have managed to manufacture a electric engine which marries up to your existing gearbox so that you have the same year ratios as a combustion car, meaning 3 pedals and more evolving experience.....perfect for his 912
EVs are nice… as a second car. It will never replace the sound, the shifting, the smell of petro cars. Doesn’t do it for me. I don’t care how fast it goes from 0-60 either. What matters most is the smile per miles and EV doesn’t do that for me.
I don’t think people the age of Magnus need to worry about not getting oil for running our ICE cars. (I’m same age). It’s said in the UK by 2030 only 8% of cars will be electric. So I’d say we’ve got at least two decades. Plus I think the US will take longer to switch because the country is so much bigger. And I don’t see African or South American countries driving EVs any time soon
Do u even own a ev swapped one? That was brought to our shop to display a few months ago for our grand reopening HRE wheels U gotta let us put a kit together for u
After seeing so many videos with Magnus wringing out his 911s it felt so strange to hear no engine music accompanying the drive. I’m sorry but that killed it for me. The video was not as exciting. I was not as immersed as I would have enjoyed. Even Magnus did not seem to be experiencing the same thrill. I want to embrace the future but please pump in some fake flat six music!
EVs are the future, hydrocarbons in particular car fuels are on the decline and will soon be regarded in the same vein as coal. Gorgeous car. Review didn’t make sense, of course it doesn’t smell like or feel like an old 912 it’s a completely different vehicle ffs.
@@mtnvalley9298 Yeah, it is what he said. "short doses" means he hates it. He doesn't like the lack of shifter, the lack of engine noise, and the added weight.
You can not take "highway to Hell" , from ACDC and expect a 54 year old to enjoy the electric organ piano version, hell no!!!!! No Fuc>>>>>>>>way!!!!!!!
I love it so much ♥️🌷
Of course who else would be perfect to test this Porsche 912 no other than Magnus Walker himself.
Lucky he didn't crash it, he's had a few mishaps...
Magnus is Legendary....a true enthusiast who you can really hear his passion....bravo Peterson!
The quietest Porsche ever here. People will miss the symphony of the exhaust note & gear shifter. 😎👍🇨🇦
silent rock and roll. just what we need.
Magnus + Porsche 912 = ⚡️.. 👌🏼
Thats one great looking 912.
I'd totally rock it. It was good of them to convert a 912 to electric and not ruin a 911. Kinda like engine swapping a Datsun 280z vs an original 240z.
This is part of why I chose a 280Z for my electric conversion, the other part being they're cheaper than 240's these days!
oh no, a 280z is still good. A 280ZX though? yeah convert that
Please make them more canyon carver and less appliance 🤟

Replacing the protein supply of cows might be the most difficult of these changes, but yes, we do need hamburgers. We enjoy them.

People drive Porsches they only own supercars. I am an old guy and there is no more valid a motto than " Porsche there is no substitue".

It's soo quiet u can hear every bit of magnus thoughts through the whole video😂
Very cool thanks and Aloha
more Magnus please!!!

I just noticed that porsche didn't have any wipers. Was that intentional?

There’s more than one. We can do this @electro Classics
We build to order. We kept the manual in this '73 th-cam.com/video/nr1LHWeHOPU/w-d-xo.html
Great Video!

Sporty EV's aren't available yet.
Fast EV's sure, but handling ? No..

Cool vid!!!!!!!!!!
Porsche should design and sale a retro Kit 🤔for air cooled cars??????
Dealership Service ☺👍
The future is their Heritage
Wart-like headlamps ruin the look. Agree with Magnus re cheesy button switch.
We’ve upgraded the buttons to an iPad, no wait now!
Nice car😎
I just have one question Mr Walker ???🤔 Does it make you feel kool and a real 912 😎
Do u even own a ev swapped one?
That was brought to our shop to display a few months ago for our grand reopening
HRE wheels
U gotta let us put a kit together for u
*YAWN*.. oh, sorry without the engine noises it's easy to fall asleep.
Wrong fingers. This: 🤘is 2.
So what you're saying is that in order to have the EV I want, I have to go buy a Tesla, have it torn apart, and installed into a classic?
Just go to zelectric. they'd be happy to do the whole thing for you.
Classics are wasted on anything EV
no. you can get the battery packs and motor without buying a tesla.
@@romulus_ From Tesla? Or from a car wrecked bad enough it was totaled?
@@jnzkngs you can just buy them new through certain vendors. tesla doesn't seem to give a shit.
talk about a castration of sensory input
Except for the 76 912E
😎👍🏽
Ricky could get lost in this car.

Not what he said, but whatever.

@@morganvon5664 your lack of comprehension sucks for you. oh well
he just wanted to pick up his check for the e-promotion
The only thing lovely about this video is when it ended… no offence to you Magnus, it’s the stupid electric Porsche😊
The vision here is wonderful.
The audio is pure amateur hour, TERRIBLE ! FFS

Nope.
Sacrilege ...
*OMG this guy needs a haircut, you would think he would show the Petersen Museum a little more respect and not dress like a homeless hipster*
I'd wear his hair for his car collection in a second. And remember, the Petersen called him, mr. judgy lol.
You obviously have no idea who Magnus Walker is...
@@rkaratekidpt*yeah i know about Magnus and the old Porsche he builds , but CMON man no reason to work around dressed like a bum*
914/916 is a better car .
Right when you think a dude has balls…. And then nope it’s proven
