Sacrilege Motors

What Sacrilege Motors does

Sacrilege Motors is a privately-held, boutique bespoke EV conversion studio headquartered in Salisbury, Connecticut, founded in 2020 by finance entrepreneur Phil Wagenheim (CEO) and Porsche specialist Bobby Singh (President). The company restores 1974–1994 Porsche 911s to concours-level quality and converts them to all-electric powertrains, operating three service lines: Bespoke Builds (fully custom commissions configured through a Brigade-built 3D virtual showroom), Legacy Collection Builds (pre-built Enigma coupe and Blackbird roadster available for immediate delivery upon deposit), and Donor Builds (customer-supplied 911 conversions).

The core technology stack centers on Fellten-supplied electric powertrains producing 500 HP and 500 Nm torque with a 200-mile range and 0–60 mph in 3.8 seconds, paired with proprietary chassis engineering that preserves original ICE weight distribution to maintain authentic 911 handling. Component partners include Penske Racing (custom three-way adjustable shocks tuned at Lime Rock Park), Brembo Racing (six-piston brakes), Fikse (forged wheels), and Michelin (PS2 tires). Modern conveniences — Apple CarPlay, MagSafe charging, CCS rapid charging, and Bluetooth audio — are integrated while vintage analog gauges are retained.

The business model is one-time/perpetual license with premium pricing: Collection builds start at $650,000 and bespoke commissions vary based on donor condition and specifications. Go-to-market is high-touch enterprise field sales plus event-driven presence at Pebble Beach, The Bridge, ModaMiami, and Lime Rock Historic Festival, targeting ultra-high-net-worth collectors and air-cooled Porsche 911 enthusiasts. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the company operates with 1–10 employees, and ownership remains with the two founders — no venture capital or institutional investment is recorded.
