Nicknamed Blackbird by its owner, in honor of the supersonic Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, this triple black commission, a 1992 Porsche® Classic America Roadster, is the first to be restored, performance-tuned, and converted to an electric powertrain at Sacrilege Motors’ headquarters in Lakeville, CT. Housed in a former Skip Barber facility, Sacrilege Motors chose the location for its proximity to the historic Lime Rock Park racing circuit, where the SR001 Blackbird Commission's development testing took place.
The Porsche® America Roadster is a limited-edition, U.S. version of the Porsche® 911® Carrera® 2 Cabriolet Turbo-look, one of 250 made. Originally equipped with a Tiptronic® transmission, this car now has a single-gear, all-electric powertrain.
With great power comes the need for enhanced handling and stability. So, Bobby Singh, the President and Chief Engineer of Sacrilege Motors, along with the help of Penske Racing, created a bespoke suspension that will be unmatched for decades. In short, high speed turns won't be a problem.
