Such a shame you were ultimately beaten by the Tesla, but I assume that was 4wd - you were struggling for traction with 2wd, so maybe could have done it with an extra motor & drive?
You know its quick when Guy Martin off the line says "shiiiiiit"
Get a battery out of that Nokia in there, and it'll drive for a week without needing a charge. 👍
Absolute nonsense, that battery would blow the motors!
And you can play snake at red lights!
If they integrated the Nokia battery into the chassis it would provide an enormous amount of strengthening too.
Think that's what they ran Herbie on
You could crash into walls and just pop all the parts back together ha
Channel4 doesn't allow people outside UK to watch its programs. We miss all the videos of you GUY! We are excited with these short glimpse. Would love to watch full videos. But we are unfortunate!
get a VPN and change your location
@@andrewmullen4003 oh ok. I didnt knew that it ll work in VPN. Coz i knew some sites even block running in VPN. I ll do that. More excited now.
Love this charming channel
You get an electric vehicle so now you won't be penalized for anything illegal on the road....
BigBrain XD
The Nokia ! Of course he still uses one ! 😄
Lol...your driving or am I driving it
Petrol and diesel are in big competition with EVs!
O Guy rocking thatt 6210 nokia .
9.8 s in a minicar is fucking hilarious.
Please leave the CSL alone 😭
tesla plad is like 7 sec...
Get thy a## back to the IOM TT Zero ;-)
Oh it kills me to see a batmobile waiting for conversion.
I thought the same
It's not a real CSL, it's a recreation based off a CSi. 👍
@@ElectricClassicCars oh okay, regardless it's yours or your customers and I'm sure this is going to be much more commonplace in coming years.
the phone guy uses is absolutely golden what a man
Nokia 6210 (might be a 6210i) Probably the best phone Nokia ever made (I'm biased I had one for many years and it never let me down).
@@ptonpc That's actually a 6310i.
@@davidjereb No worries They look very much alike. Mine had the golden finish.
The narrator's voice makes me feel like we're about to sneak up on some very rare species in the jungle.
Can't wait to finish my TVR ⚡ This EV conversion scene is only getting bigger in the UK thanks to Electric Classic cars, Zero EV and Electrogenic. 💪⚡👍
Forget the car, I want the Nokia.
Folks, if you like the look of Jonny's ev, and his presenting in the 5th Gear days, I highly recommend his youtube channel The Late Brake Show, good for petrolheads and EV nuts alike, and also his podcast 'Smith and Sniff' with fellow journalist Richard Porter
Electronic vehicles can be made self contained.. and where does the electricity come from to Charge the vehicles
I love Guy Martin, but these episodes are not long enough! I was just getting into it and then suddenly it's ov....
The narrator needs some cough syrup...
Ahh man when i saw the DeLorean, Wish they would've gone with that :D Brilliant vid! I like how fast it went from just discussing it to "okay so we're gonna pick apart my daily" xD
Too heavy. It’s body is made of steel and it’s probably a customers car + the car will have been decided far before production started. They’d have to rebuild it from the ground up if they wanted it to be as light as the beetle can be
@@YukiSuzukiIggyS Indeed, but one could always dream :) Would love to see the end-result of that DeLorean build though, as they have it there for EVConversion. I bet it's going to be amazing.
Yeah I squeaked too when I saw the DeLorean but you can't nail a competitive quarter mile when you top out at 88mph
As long as the battery tops out at 1.2 gigawatts you won't be finishing before you started.
@@andybrown4284 1.21 giga watts?? 1.21 gigawatts! 😂
So no one is mentioning the sideburns?
I absolutely need this guy to make me an electric fiero how can I contact him
need a bay kit ... also need funds .. but oooooo what fun .. ; )
This is what drives the world of automobile evolution if we are lucky. Racing brings about unlikely ideas and cultivation and after refinement and safety updates we get a fleet of new tech. Now if only we got the power grid right in the first place Tesla tech would meet Tesla tech and off we’d go. Anyway…I love this. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
Downside of the racing is the constant earsplitting eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that makes things like formula e unwatchable
@@andybrown4284 I agree the sound of 30 odd open piped cars does give me goosebumps, the drivers give f$&k all they just want fast and simple. To make it viable there will have to be changes I’m sure, I mean we already had absolute speed with group b, and silhouette cars they took those away, now faster even electric? How long will they last if they kill half the league and half a dozen spectators or fly off cliffs uncontrollably on pikes peak?
any picture gallery?
Lol add lightness
That 6310 😂
Have you spoken to Matt at rimac yet he will blow you away and he's on you tube
If that Beatle can make Guy's face turn like that, then you know it's fast..👍
Do yall know how rare that VW vantruck is here in the states and that one is super nice.
Sadly didn’t even better Jonny Smith’s record
Right? The plaid model s and rimac nevera are pretty darn amazing for how far bevs came in just a few year's. Since Johnny made that record.
Their is a low 9sec factory five homebuilt kit car using teslas powertrain on here to.
@@4literv6 I watched the full show last night - the only managed something like a 10.7 iirc - it was obvious they weren’t going to get anywhere near to Jonny, let alone the Plaid.
They need 4wd really.
@@eliotmansfield that's sad imo. Look at this non professionally built ev converted factory five 818. It went low 9s 2 year's ago now.

A VW ??!? Why? Get the a Tesla drive train in the Delorian!
Turn off UA-cam and straight to the All4 app…
That is exactly the phone I would have spect guy to have hahaha
Great program but didn't even get close.
What's phone is he using. When was this filmed ...
That’s why electric cars are the next big thing. Faster, but cleaner and quieter as well. Some manufacturers have already stopped producing diesel engines, petrol will be next….
Clean, like a coal powered Tesla, in China.
Using an old Nokia phone in 2021.........awesome
Modern technology meets Guys phone ...😂
super.. saw it on the documentary
Why oh why would you start with an un-aerodynamic VW and not a Honda Insight or Corvette or Ultima for weight reduction?
It's already been converted to electric. A couple of years ago.
Here comes the 'TECH_RODDER' Guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
wonder when guy will try a nile wilson triangle
Guys brother from another mother, 😂
So many beautiful cars! 😍
i love every car in this shop
Me when I saw the DeLorean 😯
Is this the bloke from the tele program. Vintage Voltage?.
Yes.
👍😊👍⚡️
👍
Proper!!
what a beauty
More please!
1st
Man I would like at least once to see a whole episode of something I know he has a series in the UK but we dont get it in the states.
Umm the internet will help you with that one.
@@mr8I7 tried it won't allow you to sign up for the Channel 4 site cause I'm in the states....

Old VW’s would make excellent electric cars even though they sound great.
So what are the going to do with all the old batteries later ? Where are they going to get all the metals to make the electric batteries ? What are the batteries going to be charged by ?
Recycle them, and repurpose those with enough remaining capacity into use for grid service's.
@@4literv6 so what happens after that, how do you dispose of them, do they go into landfill ?
@@michaelwhite8031 to valuable to dump them. Redwoods materials is already recycling hundreds of tons of batteries each year from teslas neveda factory and Amazon. That company's is run by a former tesla founder and has received funds from many large investors to scale up quickly. Overseas vw and other's are already running joint ev recycling operations as we speak. And the Junkyards are making bank off of wrecked ev pack's and parts for elktromod swapped vehicle's. Currently 90-93% of all the ev pack's can be reused and or recycled.
what happens to old engine oil (the fuel is Cn, CO and CO2 obvs)? Amazing how many folks get concerned about recycling only for EVs.
@@4literv6 so they're 100% recyclable ? Where are they going to get all the valuable metals like silver, lithium to make them ? Where are the fuels (Fossil Fuels) going to come from to charge them ? Sounds like a lot of Carbon to me even to mine the metals.
There’s so many bad drivers on the roads, these electric cars will hopefully get rid of them quickly.
It definitely helps to use the English captions, I can at times barely understand them, but the car is pretty nice
guy should take all the glass out and make the 4 fenders and the 2 doors boot lid and deck lid out of carbon it will give him another at least 50 kilo of lightness
They already are. 👍
