Van zuipende 255 paardekrachten naar zuinige 762 pks
Citaat:

The ’72 Plymouth Satellite is a bit more obscure than the ’69 Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard or Kowalski’s white ’70 Challenger from Vanishing Point, but it’s still one of the most desirable pre-emission Mopars out there. The owner of this particular Satellite loved the looks of the car, but Hemi muscle isn’t what it used to be. So, he went searching for a way to keep the car relevant 50 years after its original build date. Thanks to a Tesla Model S Ludicrous rear drive unit and 100 kWh battery pack, it looks like he found one!
Kevin, the car’s owner, is a long-time Mopar fan and something of a car collector. In addition to this Satellite, which he bought from the son of its original owner, he also owns a turbocharged, 360ci powered V8 Dodge Dart. So, he knows a thing or two about getting these cars to move. Having done the V8 thing already and looking for a way to “future proof” his new Satellite, an EV conversion seemed like the way to go.
It wouldn’t be easy. The big V8 route is well-traveled territory – there are body-specific websites and engine builders with decades of Mopar-specific experience out there to lean on every step of the way. Kevin would be blazing his own path – but he powered ahead, and it’s hard to argue with the end results.
This is one clean fuselage-bodied Mopar!
...
Similarly, the bigger, more modern wheels are much more than a stylistic choice. In Ludicrous mode, the drive units in a Tesla Model S put out some 762 hp in this vintage. That’s substantially more than the 255 hp the old 400ci Hemi V8 the car rolled out of the factory with – and that kind of power upgrade requires a similar brake upgrade to keep the whole thing, you know, survivable.
