“Classics should not become museum pieces.”

That’s the motto behind Voitures Extravert, a Dutch firm that’s converting classic cars into 100% electric vehicles.

Their latest rebuild? The Quintessenza, an electric update on ‘70s and ‘80s-era Porsche 911s. The revamped models feature 400 km of range and can reach 0-62 mph in six seconds. They’re priced at just under $370,000 (300,000 euros).

Sadly, the five models built for 2018 were already sold, but the company is taking reservations for the 2019 series … if you have the $62,000 it takes to reserve one.
