This replica gives a rare Porsche another lease on life. But should it?
The Porsche 910 existed for a brief time in history. Two years to be exact. 1966 and 1967. In that time it still got quite some attention, appearing in 1971 Steve McQueen film LeMans.
Even so, it seems like an obscure model to resurrect. Only 35 original frames were built, but that hasn't stopped Electric car start-up Kreisel from bringing it back as a kind of hero model for their strange electric-conversion business.

Thankfully, they aren't actually butchering any of the original frames. In order to create it, they've teamed up with EVEX Fahrzeugbau, a company that specialises in building replicas.
The question is: should they? Part of what this company stands for is proving that you can convert pretty much any vehicle to an electric drivetrain. But is re-imagining the idea of a classic race car a step too far?

Just look at it. It wants to make noise. On the plus side, unlike the original 910, which was for the track only, you'll be able to drive something that looks like this on the road (in Europe, at least).

Oh, and the price? Around the equivalent of $AU1.4 million.
