Forget carbon fiber—this uses plant fiber exterior and interior panels
We’ve been feeling a tad bloated of late with the sheer portion of electrified 911s that are being released. But we’ve been forced to make some extra space to sneak in this 964-generation Porsche 911 by Kalmar Automotive , dubbed the Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt.
This one’s different from the rest: It focuses more coherently on using sustainable engineering methods to make this—both literally and figuratively—one of the greenest electric 911s you can purchase.Kalmar has done that by reusing big sections of the donor cars—including much aluminum and glass—and also creating new ‘plant fiber’ panels for both the interior and the exterior. The result? A curb weight that’s on par with an equivalent ICE-powered 964 Turbo—around 1.3 tons.
Wrapping up with a few interior details, Kalmar has thrown in modern aircon, a floor-mounted audio system, and Apply CarPlay. You’ll also find grained leather upholstery to warm your bottom, while ‘semi-aniline’ materials have also been used throughout. We don’t know what those are, either, don’t worry. Sounds fancy, though.Jan Kalmar, the founder of Kalmar Automotive, said: “For us, it had to be more than just dropping an EV motor in a 911.
“The donor car for our first 7-97 E-Volt build was an abandoned Porsche 964 with no engine. We have given it a second lease of ‘green’ life.”More photos of the Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt: PHOTO BY Kalmar AutomotivePHOTO BY Kalmar AutomotiveNOTE: This article first appeared on TopGear.com.
