Reimagined as the all-electric “E Porsche 911,” this 1976 widebody Porsche 911 is a striking example of how historic icons are finding new life in the electric era. Originally crafted by John James Racing, it found its way into the hands of Chris Ashton from Ruffian Cars. However, after converting it back to a street car, this car’s journey took an unexpected turn. When Mother Nature intervened, Ruffian Cars seized the opportunity to transform it into an electric powerhouse, merging vintage aesthetics with modern eco-conscious engineering.
This shift to electric power is not just a technical upgrade; it’s a controversial trend that’s becoming increasingly popular among classic car enthusiasts who want to enjoy their beloved vehicles in a more environmentally friendly way. For those who cherish tradition but want to embrace the future, electric restomodding offers a perfect blend of legacy and sustainability, and this classic yet modernized Porsche is a testament to that.
