    I noticed the same thing Kane. At first I thought ooh a complete engine upgrade for my 912, but then also reminded me I like the idea of electric too. However, I imagine going electric is a $50k+ upgrade.

      Seems like a lot of bits for the money provided the engine isnt too far gone and only a straightforward rebuild (without needing P & C's.
      Hopefully the engine number matches someones car but would be nice to know where the engine swap from the 4 cyl 912 powerplant happened in order to try to track down where the new 6 cyl motor came from. If t was done in WA, there are a few workshops one could call to see if anyone remembers.

        Does anyone know what the price on this was? I'm trying to get an idea to ask for mine.

          Last time I looked there was a complete bolt in kit from ZeroEV (currently only for G-series so may not fit)... Large Tesla motor (450hp) and 200mi range... GBP55k.

          Suspect A$50k is a bit light to do it...?
