1991 Porsche 944 S2 – Professionally Converted to Electric by Electric Classic Cars

This stunning 1991 Porsche 944 S2 in rare Helsinki Blue has been professionally converted to electric by Electric Classic Cars, one of the most respected names in EV conversions. Featured on Vintage Voltage (Series 2, Episode 10), this is a head-turning classic with modern electric performance and reliability.

The original 3.0L straight-four engine (200bhp) has been replaced with a Tesla small drive unit in the rear, producing a peak output of 295bhp (220kW) and 330Nm of torque, offering exhilarating acceleration with smooth, silent power delivery. The 48kWh battery pack, distributed between the front and rear for near-perfect weight balance (close to 50/50), provides a real-world range of around 120–140 miles. Charging is via a Type 2 6.6kW fast charger, taking approximately 8 hours for a full charge.

The cabin has been sympathetically upgraded with new carpets and the original gauges reprogrammed to suit the EV drivetrain. A simple D-N-R switch replaces the traditional gearstick. The car is also fitted with electric heating, power steering, and a brake vacuum pump for modern driving comfort.

Equipment includes:

• Remote central locking

• Electric pop-up sunroof

• Electric windows and mirrors

• Pop-up headlights

• Tracker

• Kenwood stereo

• Additional USB charging ports

A true modern classic that blends iconic Porsche styling with the sustainability and simplicity of electric power.
