Voitures Extravert has unveiled its latest venture, the Essenza series 2 electric conversion, promising a blend of classic aesthetics with modern performance enhancements that surpass the original air-cooled Porsche 911. Following in the footsteps of renowned firms like Singer and Everrati, Voitures Extravert caters to Porsche enthusiasts seeking to revive vintage models with contemporary electric powertrains.
In a recent communication, Voitures Extravert hinted at the impressive capabilities of their 911 conversions, boasting 385 horsepower (290 kW) and over 750 lb-ft of torque (1025 Nm) available instantly. This marks a significant leap from the 125 horsepower offered by the original 1971 Porsche 911.
The conversions feature upgraded coil-over suspension systems and incorporate regenerative braking technology for enhanced stopping power, all while maintaining a stance and aesthetic true to the classic Porsche design.
“From thermal management to drivetrain optimization, every aspect has been meticulously refined to deliver the quality and performance synonymous with our brand,” noted a Voitures Extravert spokesperson, highlighting the thorough redesign aimed at seamless integration and an unparalleled driving experience.
A notable aspect of the Essenza series 2 conversion is its blend of modern amenities with classic appeal, such as a period-correct dashboard housing a discreet yet functional smart touchscreen. This approach ensures a contemporary user interface without compromising the nostalgic charm of the original air-cooled Porsche experience.
Voitures Extravert emphasizes the bespoke nature of their conversions, allowing customers to customize every detail from colors to materials, ensuring each vehicle reflects individual preferences. Since announcing availability in the US last month, the company has reported three sales, indicating a promising reception among American enthusiasts.
