Nicknamed “Blackbird” by its owner in a nod to the iconic supersonic Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, this black-on-black-on-black converted German classic features a 62 kilowatt-hours battery pack that can enable an estimated range of about 200 miles on a full charge and can be topped up via a CCS connector, although the company doesn’t say how much time it will take to replenish the batteries.
A zero-emissions 1992 911 Cabriolet uses a modified Tesla Model S motor for a total power output of 500 horsepower. With a torque figure of 369 pound-feet (502Newton Meters), the 3,200-pound (1,451 kg) all-electric roadster can sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour (96 km/h) in under 4 seconds, while a limited-slip rear differential maximizes grip in tricky road conditions.
Set to be revealed on Concept Lawn at next week’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California, the company’s first-ever restoration, performance-tuned, and conversion commission features upgraded suspension and braking components, with two-way inverted custom Penske race shocks at the front, three-way adjustable remote-reservoir custom Peske race shocks at the rear, and Brembo performance slotted rotors all-around in charge of the braking.
The Connecticut-based outlet says that the base vehicle – a 1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster – is a limited-edition, US-only version of the 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet Turbo-look and that only 250 units were ever made, making it a pretty rare car to begin with.
The “Blackbird” commission was developed and tested on the historic Lime Rock Park racing circuit, which is located just 10 minutes from the firm’s headquarters in Lakeville, which is a former Skip Barber Racing School facility.
