JamesJT Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) All electric, 3 seat, "baby" Porsche concept car. In real life it would be exactly the same size as the original 911. Independent suspension, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering and a servo operated clutch on both axels. It is full RC so it can drive and steer but can also use the clutch to free wheel and brake - just like a real electric car. It was inspired by Ferry Porsche's Typ 52 3 seat sports car from 1933, the Mission E concept from 2015 and many Porsches in between. Edited September 7, 2016 by JamesJT Quote
Technic Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Looks really good, especially with the gold rims. If anybody from Porsche is listening I'd also like a RWD version with a small petrol engine and manual gearbox. Great idea!! Quote
Nikolay Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Perfect work! As always unusual and very innovative despite the fact that the machine is a rarity) Quote
Lakop Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Great Porsche! Love the body work, would have liked to see more functions. H Quote
JamesJT Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) would have liked to see more functions. I knew every part added would slow the car down so I had to keep it basic. It is electric so it doesn't need a gearbox but it does have the servo clutch. I would have liked the main section of the roof to slide over the back window like a giant sunroof. I may give that a try as there is still a few weeks to the deadline. What other functions did you have in mind? Edited July 14, 2016 by JamesJT Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I think it is a great car. Just curious, how many blue panels were needed for this car??? And how much did it cost for them? Quote
JamesJT Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 how many blue panels were needed for this car??? And how much did it cost for them? It uses 19x 19844 and 48x 24116, they averaged £1.50 each including postage so about £100. I already had most of them from building my Corvette and the blue Stratos before that. The green 18944 panels are £0.70 on Lego S@H, this will be much cheaper to build when the blue ones become available. Quote
