The custom version is perfect for the electrified 914 ! A 21st century rendition of this unique design would be on my must drive list ; )

OK, you get free juice at the charger overnight, but that place does cost 143 to 1260 euro/per night, (and an extra 60 euro for dinner) so it's not exactly cheap!

Bad to push the info, numbers away, thats what I wanted to see. That is the reson for a 👎

gear shift back to go forwards, shift forwards to go backward? Yes I know that's from the original shift pattern, but still, that seems wrong.

We did a similar trip from Kassel/Germany to Östersund in Sweden (200km north of Lillhärdal). Once in summer with a converted VW Touran in 2021. The charging infrastructure was awful back then, the AC charger broken and we were only left with CHAdeMO - this meant one tow from a broken charger to a working one. The other time we hired a Kia Soul in winter 2022. The charging infrastructure had improved notably within just 1.5 years! In the cold winter it was so good to have an electric car that you can preheat or leave running to keep the dog warm. EVs are much better in winter than ICE ones. Back then I didn't know of Tom - hope I can visit on this years trip :)

oh, do so want. Left-hand drive please for here in Canada :-)

Love hearing the engineering evolution via “Break it till you make it” modus. Nothing more fun for an Engineer than fixing what is Broke::

GREAT VIDEO THANKS I COULDNT AGREE MORE 🙂👍🍺

Presenting like a predatory chimp.

Elon Musk should have use the Testarossa form factor instead of the Lotus Elite when starting Tesla! nice job.

It is a sin to pollute however. Get rid of all combustion engines, keep the cool car designs, its a win win.

This is so awesome, would be fun if Tesla actually buy the reestablished Delorean company and start making DMC-12 as retro EV

the II. WW Tiger tank…😂😂😂😂

Beautiful car! BUT a Porsche without a glorious flat six soundtrack is like Tom Jones delivering Delilah with BSL.

These beautiful Ferrari's with Tesla drivetrains in them are magnificent. The fact that they are able to travel the distance and charge at public charging stations is a testament to Electric Classic Car's excellent conversion skills.

Lucky boys!

Doing an EV conversion on a vehicle with such a heavy maintenance reputation is a no brainer. If I managed to pick up a Testarossa back before prices went thru the roof, I would’ve done the conversion. 👍🏻

This has brought a massive smile to my face as I loved the look of the iconic Testarossa. However maintenance costs would prevent most people owning one. The electric upgrade using Tesla parts is an incredible move and the best of old and new. Long live the TeslaRossa. As you say what is beeter than seeing one, two! Seeing them do what they are designed for and being driven is fantastic. Thanks for doing this Richard.

How awful. Sounds like a tube train.

Comment gâcher une voiture de collection 😢😢

Richard please please please get the permission to use the Matt Munro Italian Job theme song . Awesome thanks mate .

Did you really charge from 40% to 100% in half an hour at your first breakfast stop? Other EVs take forever to get that last 10% in.

Stunning car, Richard and Tim and no doubt even more stunning to drive along in refined silence, with just the sound of nature (thankfully, not rain storms...!) as companion. The R107 takes me back to my first motortrade job at a Mercedes dealer in Sheffield back in the mid-80s. The MD ran a Blue Black metallic / Cream leather 320SL and, very kindly, allowed me to borrow it one weekend to take my girlfriend - now wife of 34 years - on the date where I proposed... Don't know whether it was me or the car, but, thankfully, she said "Yes"...! 🥂

A bit of info for anyone recreating this trip: you can charge at Lidl in most French towns 150kW CCS 0.36 cent per kW 0.06 cent per minute. We did it last year and we saved a lot! of money

Next 10 year, convertion like this to any vehicle are normal.

What sort of ball park cost would someone be looking at to do this type of conversion? Great car and conversion.

Testarossa = Redhead!

Clearly everyone taking pics on the m’way didn’t care or even know that these two were EVs. ECC doing stuff like this exponentially increases the chances of seeing these kinds of cars out in the world

SACRILEGIO

as good as a citroen ds9?

Any thoughts about putting the same teslarossa package into a Berlinetta Boxer? That would be beautiful!

I love the Teslarossa just for how much it pisses people off 😂

Well done for persuading Eddie Irvine to ride along with you.

What a way to ruin a beautiful sounding car

Oh, Gorgeous, just gorgeous. what a pair. My favorite was the 288 GTO.

I like EVs but the sound they put to them makes me wanna gag a bit.

I saw the marriage of Prince William on a Jaguar E Type electrified....a shame! Now it is time for Ferraris.....unbelievable where we are arrived. God save the common sense!

Road trip 🎉. Love your work, Richard 👍

The charging infrastructure in France is superb. We've taken the Model 3 skiing and on a summer vacation twice. The last time, we avoided the Telsa chargers and just looked for nice motorway services with some green space. Much better for the kids to go and play vs a hotel parking lot. We sat on some benches and chilled out.

I wish it was more like the US here, cheers DVLA for depriving us of such an interesting element of vehicle culture. Look at all their restomods with improved suspension geometry etc. Like many of our laws, it's totally unenforceable. How many cars do you think have an extra hole somewhere for a sound install, camper conversion etc. If everyone wanted an inspection it would take 100 years and most cars over 10 years old would be on Q plates.

Take the engine from a Ferrari and it no longer a Ferrari

Actually I think this is way more "green" than building all new cars. The positioning and use of existing structure, cutting no new holes etc and compartments is amazing.

Hats off to these guy’s. This is the future for all cars.

Money money money it’s so funny. It’s a rich man’s world. But I will have to get by with my Tesla .

So impressive, but for normal people buying a Tesla Model 3 or Y is the best value for money.

If you pull the heart out of a family pet, you don't get a better pet. You get a zombie.

What an Awesome Ride, and a great demonstration of how great road tripping can be in an electric. Richard started the video by saying how lucky he is to drive these classic electric vehicles. I have to disagree. Since he is the one who converted them, I would say he made his own luck.

Very surprised by the suspension system, can that be done on any car?

I am still looking forward for the video of converted Jensen Interceptor. That was designed by its shape as a trully GT vehicle for very long trips.
