Electric is interesting, but not for me. It would be a different product, not really a Speedster replica. Not a bad thing at all -- just different. I'm air cooled all the way. Having come from two 356s back in the day, one of my first questions upon discovering replica Speedsters on VW running gear, was: will it sound the same as my old 1600 P-cars, one of which was a S90?? I'll say that the VW version of the flat air cooled 4 is pretty damn close. I think I can detect a small but distinct difference to the fan whine between the VW and Porsche lash-ups, but its plenty close enough. when You take that away totally with an electric, you have made a BIG change, IMHO. Again, not necessarily bad, just very different. Might not satisfy some of us old school luddites. And a properly built and tuned 2332 + A1 Sidewinder ?? what could be finer?
