Electrified Porsche 914 Revealed

The mid-engined, targa-topped 914 is a car that sits atop the wish lists of very few Porschephiles, if any at all. Spotted in Los Angeles on 31 August: an electrified 914 sipping some juice at a public charging station. The car started life as a 1974 Porsche 914 1.8 – complete with a Volkswagen-sourced 85hp flat-four engine. On a full charge,“P914-EV” is good for a cruising range of 70-80 miles. The interior is vintage Porsche – businesslike – with one very 21st-century upgrade: a touch-screen interface, complete with infotainment and vehicle diagnostics systems, running on an Android tablet.
