Electric Classic Cars (on Farcebaulk)

The Tesla powered Mini is taking shape, with brakes to match the 300hp electric muscle...

600Kg of fun by the looks...

The engine bay looks very bare without all the usual drivetrain parts!

You could make a plastic or fibreglass fake donk...or 3D print something (just for fun!)

No doubt the engine bay will be filled with batteries soon. Also, are those brakes really suited to that much power?? Surely vented discs would be a much better idea??

If it’s a Tesla motor, then I’d assume they’d be using the regeneration feature to brake and charge the battery. It works really well to slow the car
