It is interesting and I am always happy to see companies supporting our old cars either new tech. That said, the price places it out of consideration for many. A pure EV mode for early morning departures or passing through small villages would be appreciated too.

DARN! I guess I should have beefed up my suspension further during my 2020 refresh! I’ll just have to live with driving a slow car as fast as is legal. Cool technology!

I agree. "racing' in your own lane at legal speeds on your twisty well known freshly paved road while you double clutch in perfect rev downshift harmony to enter the tight rural corkscrew to the beer store is something.

They had their stuff on display at Rennsport back in 2018. It was quite impressive.

As for the price? Basically if you can’t afford a new Porsche, you can’t afford this.

How much is 150 horsepower in equivalent turbo/supercharger cost. fair enough, not 60g but i can see an evolution to this to lower cost hopefully. I love this stuff because years ago I watched a video of a well known poster here rip his boosted air cooled 911 in Mexico and I was shocked at the violence of that car. I was addicted.

Chuck is using our CARB compliant Active Exhaust system and MKM73 muffler on their demo car to give it a more aggressive sound during the electric assist. Pretty neat concept. I assume the instant torque would make the car feel like it has an LS engine installed!

Elephant Racing was installing this years ago. I think it was the same company.
