Video: Tesla drive in the classic Plymouth muscle car!

Rich Rebuilds (YouTube channel) did a crazy job Electric mod watched. A classic Plymouth muscle car with Tesla drive. Specifically, it is a Plymouth Satellite from the 70s on (third generation two-door version), which now has a Tesla instead of a Hemi-V8 Model S engine under the hood. And the result is not only extremely fast, but also interesting and unique, especially for electro fans. In general, the conversion makes a successful impression and the one-off even has a complex one Pushrod suspension installed. The Plymouth also has the complete rear subframe, the Engine assembly and the Bremsanlage from Model S under the sheet metal. However, the front brake system was still designed for improved braking performance upgraded.

The Battery Incidentally, the drive is located in the trunk and, according to the owner, this has even improved the weight distribution of the Satellite. And the vehicle weighs even less than the donor vehicle, the Tesla Model S. In the current configuration, quarter-mile runs are possible in 12 to 13 seconds. Quite an achievement when you consider that the Plymouth also has amenities like electric power windows or Heated seats going for a walk. Only traction control or an anti-lock braking system (ABS) have to be dispensed with. But that was already the case with the original with a V8 engine.
