Renovo Coupe

Of course I love this thing.

HYPER retro body, basically a Shelby Daytona Coupe
All electric, and charges in 30 minutes!
0-60 in 3.4 seconds
1,000 ft lbs of torque
built in silicon valley
and, ahem, $530,000

Clearly it won’t be the next car fro any of us, but still, love.

Part of me wonders how much it would cost to buy a Daytona kit and retrofit Tesla drivetrain into it.

I’m waiting for electric drive train drop ins to become the equivalent of the Chevy LS1 swap.

Daddy wants 500 ft lb of torque in his Civic!

That’s the hottest thing since sunburn!

It’s one small step to giving us the Gattaca future we all deserve- streets filled with electric Avantis and DS19s. :slight_smile:

Batteries need to get a bit smaller before that’s practical- the battery pack on a Tesla is enormous. You’d have a very hard time packaging it in an existing car (unless you could live with a much smaller range). But yeah, electric drivetrain swaps will be a huge business eventually. The biggest PITA on old cars is old internal combustion engines.

Or, snatch up an old Datsun and go to work.
