Jonny Hart Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Went to a car show yesterday in the 914 EV I'm still setting the car up - needs geo etc but am getting to grips with how it drives. It does feel quite spritely but until now no real comparison with anything. Anyhow, I was parked next to a 997.1 GT3 RS at the show and we just happened to leave in convoy. On the twisties and overtaking I could easily keep up with it - actually gaining on it out of corners! The owner connected through Instagram and said he was struggling for grip - that car has 325/50 rear tyres and I'm on 205s! I had the targa roof off as well! Not sure about top speed but for real world driving I'll settle for that! GT3 RS: 297 bhp / ton. max torque 298 ft-lbs @ 5500 rpm 914EV: 238 bhp /ton. max torque 243 ft-lbs from 0 rpm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagarep Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Excellent work Jonny, especially the interior! Can't wait to see it at a meeting this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TargaWayne Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Not sure if it the colour, extending the body colour to the sills, the new side light/indicators, or the combination of all three. But it doesn't look dated, like most 914s. A fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want non car people to walk straight by it and car people to stop in their tracks. A few other pointers: Modern thinner screen rubber, black frames, side mirror delete, side repeater delete, closer fitment of bumpers. lowered on 7 & 8s. It’s Carrera GT silver btw.
