The Vonnen Shadow Drive

Something that will trickle down to the masses in a few years, or will it become just another Turbonique Drag Axle, destined to be a footnote in the history of speed parts - interesting but impractical. What say you?

Shadow Drive is available for select Porsche models exclusively from Vonnen and Vonnen authorized dealers for $75,000 installed in your vehicle.

Footnote. I don’t see a market.

Pricey, yes. Certainly cool. I think Chuck Moreland and his crew have a lot of development time into that. I wish them luck and success.

It should be a mainstay for all vehicles imo.
A separate system from the ICE powertrain which supplies only when needed. Reduced engine load.
Big power for small weight setback.

Makes more sense than adding heavy individual hub motors to unsprung weight.

75 grand for a battery pack and a motor in an old car. No thx

EDIT : That price better include an upgrade for the stock gearbox or it's going to end in tears on them older cars.

It also had better include a hooker and blow.
