These are the sexiest EVs out there!
Thanks 😎👍
There have got to be people out there stuck with bad Ferraris, like a Dino 308GT4 or a Mondial, who wants to end up with a vastly improved vehicle. Two cars who's bodies wrote checks that the mechanicals couldn't cash.
A Mondial EV would be epic!
I’ve had both, and I’m so conflicted by your suggestion. I’d be more inclined to convert if the gated shifter could integrated with the power delivery; the original car would ideally be “profiled” prior to conversion so the sounds, clutch action, torque curve etc were all faithfully reproduced and integrated.
Absolutely beautiful vehicle! Extremely well done! Attention to every little detail is next level! He's going to make a killing selling turn key cars and DIY plug-and-play conversion kits! If I had a Dino, it would be in your shop!
I'm a car guy, I got rid of my Toyota GR Yaris and now have 2 EVs ,and me coming from loads of turbocharged icons like the EVO .
EVs are rapid ,and they don't break down , no messy oil changes anymore,no ridiculous fuel costs anymore
Suggestion for moggy now he's run 2 of these on a 1,900+mile trip recently(some great vids over on his channel!
What is the est hwy range man! Curious minds want to know. 😁
I'd guess it got better than 150 hwy miles at reasonable speeds if you used most of that 62kwh capacity.
Also I'm a car guy not a noises guy is an epic rebuttle to the ev hating gas fume breathing nut jobs. 👍🏻😀
Another great video Jerom, love your visits to Richards Electric Classic Cars workshop,. This Testarossa conversion is perfection to me :)
When I was 15 I would have called it blasphemy as well. Now I call it sublime.
Plenty of room in the back for a space saver spare tyre if you really wanted one.
space-saver? Almost looks like you could fit a standard rear wheel!! (google tells me 295/35ZR18)
I swear, Richard is an absolute genius!!!
As for the F40, if anyone could make it better, he certainly can. I think he should do it!!! 😁
F40 = $2,000,000. After EV conversion , I’m guessing 200 - 300k, so I can’t see it ever happening. It’s a bit like converting an old mechanical Rolex to electric, and probably why he hesitated when asked. This video caught my attention when he said he had the old Testarossa engines for sale.
Wonderful ! And....Yeah, F40 would be M.E.N.T.A.L....
He teases us that countach shell in the background on the shelf could someday become an elktromod. 😁
I wanted to see them convert one of the teslarossas into a liberty walk widebody/512 M nose fusion more modern&wild looking design.
But with a plaid dual rear motor setup enabling true torque vectoring. And 700+hp! 😎
6:56 - nice touch🤙back in 2018 i saw someone in the pits at the Drag Strip during a big race weekend with another famous car, a restored/Restomodded 1977 Black/Gold "Bandit" Pontiac T/A (technically it might've been a '78 from the "4 eyes" front fascia) but it had a mint black interior, a proper shifter, and the requisite T-Tops.😎 the only other subtle change (and you had to be looking closely to spot it) was the classic 15x7 "Snowflake wheels" were replicas that had been upsized +2 to 17 inches (so well before Jessie's Performance went +5 and made 20's) and it wore modern 245/45-17 Nitto NT555 rubber. as always i had my camera with me, the lighting was perfect, so i took detailed pics and (being one of my fave cars) 6 years later i still have these same pics on my phone.😁 to this day i still have no idea who the car belonged to, cause nobody was around at that moment to answer any questions, and i have yet to see it ever show up at the track again.
Thanks for all the great videos!! The entire Testarossa video series on @ElectricClassicCars is informative and entertaining. I really like when we get to see the builds on whoever's channel and then Jerome @OutofSpecRenew shows up. The tour of Moment Motors was great, and I enjoyed when you visited Jeremey @ElectricSuperCar. Thanks again!!
Much appreciated Adam (y)
This is the best interview with @ElectricClassicCars to date I've seen! Wish I had the cash to buy one and a bolt on kit to DIY.
20 kg lighter than a fuelled up Testarossa is pretty sweet. Only a bit heavier on a short track outing then :)
Over time better battery modules will become available to either add range, reduce weight, or both.
make a kit for the beautiful smart roadster! smallest tesla motor unit, with 30-40kwh pack and dc charging
I love this conversions! But isn't a mint Testarossa now worth a fortune?
And it actually looks better with the larger wheels. Most of the restomoders go too big on the wheels IMO.
Cool idea. But just be sure you’re going to keep the car for life. Its resale value is shot.
A Teslarossa wow 🤩
From what I have heard about the engines in Ferraris etc. chances are you are going to spend a lot more time driving this EV car than the petrol version which would have needed a lot more trips to a garage for work on the engine etc.
Great video! 👏👏👏👏
Moggy yanks the Flat-12... "BLASPHEMER...!!! IDOLATER...!!!" (best Charlton Heston/Moses voice)
20:39 - wait, swap an F40...??? "STONE HIM...!!!" (voices from a crowd of irate medieval villagers gathered around Jerome)
Can I order for converting my car
Wow Love it!
Do a 3000gt or a DB7,or a XJS?
17:56 - A: yes please. okay sold, while i certainly might consider swapping the "Berlinetta Boxer" for an electric drivetrain, however as someone deeply involved in Motorsports/Racing i'd never sell the engine since the value of the car comes from it's VIN being matched to its engine's Serial #. yeah, NO WAY IN HELL would you catch any "true Tifosi" selling off their engine, not on your life, as those GROSS MISTAKES are reserved for the "noobs", "rubes", and "laymen" to the Auto Industry...
i mean if you've ever been to "Museo Ferrari" (or seen photos) you'll notice how the Scuderia ex-Formula One V12, V10, and V8 engines are displayed like "sculptures" and "works of art" (which they are). so that's how i'd roll, i'd restore the engine (cosmetically at a minimum) and display it on a stand, and if i didn't have the room to display it...? i'd either MAKE THE ROOM...!? BUILD A DEDICATED ROOM FOR IT...!? or just sell my home and MOVE to a different place altogether...!!!🤣
cause logic dictates if you're in the market to buy a "Red Head"...? or are already fortunate to own a "Red Head"...? then what you're telling us SIMULTANEOUSLY without speaking a word is that "you're papered up" (think famed super collector David Lee) which then additionally means YOU'RE ALL OUT OF EXCUSES for not approaching it in the manner i just outlined. hey i was watching Crocket and Tubbs on Miami Vice back in the mid-80's when the original Daytona "Hero Car" was lost, and then got it's famous "Testarossa upgrade" same as everybody else.🤑
Moggy you should do Toyota Hilux EV conversion ❤❤
Size of the battery packs? Range? Performance?
Range on a Ferrari? When it had an engine, no one cared about range. Same sentiment should be when converted to EV. This not a daily driver…. It’s a balls out fun car.
4 small pack's to allow for better than stock weight distribution, totalling about 62kwhs useable as covered by Richard in the video!
Perf is 0-60mph in mid 3s range covered in an older video by ecc on the conversion itself. 1/4mile and top speed not discussed.
I voted for him to get Matt from carwow to cover these racing against his older also ev converted 308gtE. 😀
Range is est at 150+hwy miles. Although Richard and a customer took the first 2 of these on a 1,900+miles jaunt into the alps also covered on his channel recently. So he should have a much better answer to the actual realised hwy range now. 😎
If you watch Richard’s channel there is a video of the 2 Testarossa’s going to Switzerland and a cost/efficiency comparison on the video. The differences in cost/mile and CO2 emissions between the petrol and electric versions is mind blowing.
Did you watch the video ? The data is there.
I appreciate what's being done with with e-hotrodding these days, and absolutely encourage those that have the means and desire to make their vehicle what they truly want it to be. I've personally considered swapping my old Chevy truck to an electric drive, just to be different than the thousands of hotrodded SBC or LS based versions of that vehicle that already exist.
That said, the anti-combustion and anti-EV hate that seems to saturate these projects and their discussions is nauseating. The religious fervor that surrounds the topic clouds minds and annihilates the good will and appreciation that should exist among enthusiasts.
To the petrolheads, I say:
The car is faster, lighter, likely better handling, more efficient and less polluting. And, perhaps most importantly, it isn't YOUR car. Get over it.
To the EV fanatics:
There IS something to the argument that removing the original powertrain makes the car somehow... less. Cars like this are as much about the experience of the intake/exhaust noise and manually rowing through gears as they are about outside beauty and pure speed. Arguments about maintenance costs, efficiency, gm/km emissions, reliability and the like are practically moot. Shitbox economy cars driven tens of thousands of km per year have and will put out far more lifetime emissions than this car, and cars like it, ever will. Don't forget that while the powertrain is now cheap and efficient, every other part of the car is STILL a classic Ferrari, with commensurate repair and insurance costs.
Thank You folks for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth....
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste

“Lighter”
Not going to hate here, but the boxer 12 of the Testarossa is what gave it, its soul, and that was taken away.
a ferrari will always be better with an engine
or motor ;-)
I guess if you can afford one, you can afford two.
An EV for daily driver.
A gas for track days….and you get a free motor for, much needed, spares
…or turn the gas motor into a coffee table
Interior is so 70s! Nice…or not.
80's in fact ;-)
😮💨
You removed the literal heart of the car and the thing that gave it its name. I wouldn’t do this swap
Are there really so many people that don't understand what a Ferrari is about?
Q: Are there really so many people that don't understand what a Ferrari is about? A: 'fraid so...😟 unfortunately the bulk of society has now "regressed" and grown "feeble" and "infirmed". this condition of course is a "Catch-22" because it means they will ALSO not be aware that this has even happened to them.
Regular trips to the mechanic? Yep definite improvement
Flat 12 ICE or a whiny EV motor? no contest. ICE.
Once of the unique selling points about a Ferrari is it's engine - removing a flat-12 for an electric motor is just plain wrong.
Idk if you know this, but they are absolutely trash when it comes to reliability.
all that engine religion bs ... its great to threw out old stinkers and replace them with efficient e-power
It's complete heresy. These cars are not supposed to be reliable you idiot's they are supposed to have a soul and now it's lost it
In your opinion. You don't speak for anyone else.
How To Render A Testarossa Useless
Who in there right fucking mind could do something like this, this is the worst thing I've ever seen pls put its damn Ferrari engine back in
Ruined. Battery cars suck
