Electrified porche 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.
