We’ve been gorging on electrified 911s lately, but we’re making room for something special: the Kalmar Automotive 964-generation 911, known as the ‘7-97 E-Volt’.

Before you roll your eyes, this one’s a standout. It’s not just another electric 911; it’s a masterclass in sustainable engineering, making it one of the greenest electrified 911s you can buy, both literally and figuratively.

Kalmar has cleverly reused substantial parts from the donor cars, including plenty of aluminium and glass, and introduced new 'plant fibre' panels for both the interior and exterior. The outcome? A curb weight comparable to a conventional ICE-powered 964 Turbo—around 1.3 tonnes.

This lightweight construction is paired with a repurposed Tesla Model S powertrain. The rear-mounted motor pumps out 450hp and 660Nm of torque, propelling the 7-97 from 0 to 100 km/h in under four seconds. It boasts a range of over 320 km, courtesy of a 63kWh battery pack, and an 80% recharge takes about an hour.

This is shaping up to be something remarkable, and that’s before we delve into the technical wizardry: the 7-97 features a novel air intake for cooling, while the reimagined shell improves aerodynamics over the original. Those plant fibre panels? They produce 78% lower CO2 emissions during manufacture compared to carbon fibre.

Inside, Kalmar has packed in modern air conditioning, a floor-mounted audio system, and Apple CarPlay. You’ll also find grained leather upholstery to warm your bottom, complemented by 'semi-aniline' materials throughout. No clue what those are either, but they sound posh.

Jan Kalmar, the founder of Kalmar, said: “For us, it had to be more than just dropping an EV motor in a 911. So we looked to see how far we could take its green credentials. Using an existing car as a base is a good start, but it had to go further. That’s why we’re recasting parts, reforming glass, and using flax fibres that produce lower CO2 than carbon fibre during manufacture.

"The donor car for our first 7-97 E-Volt build was an abandoned Porsche 964 with no engine. We’ve given it a second lease of ‘green’ life.”

Fancy one? It’ll set you back at least £380,000.
