Frequently Asked Questions: 911 Electric Conversion
Q1: Will my 911 become more valuable after conversion?
It depends on the context. A realized, perfect electric conversion of a rare 1970s 911 can gain value (exclusivity + technology). A badly executed conversion can destroy value. ESDI ensures that every conversion meets the highest quality standards.
Q2: Can I reinstall the original engine?
Theoretically yes, if the engine is stored. Practically, it costs about 50% of the conversion costs. It is better to plan the reversibility from the start – ESDI stores all original parts on request.
Q3: Is the performance really better?
Yes, in most cases. A modern 200 kW electric motor with 400+ Nm torque from zero is faster than a classic flat-six – especially in everyday use. Highway overtaking, hill starts, sporty curves: electric wins.
