2006 Honda S2000 Electric Conversion - 10.24 @ 126 mph

[@tbmka]

Can't believe you played that music the whole time...we want to hear the electric whirl.

[@powershift5439]

Exactly!!!

[@TheKdcool]

Would have loved to hear the quiet drag !

[@ianwatches]

I've owned 2 S2000s. Before my Model 3 Performance, this was my favorite car of all time. Way to meld my TWO favorite brands into one hellish beast. Very very cool.

[@ChrisAceD]

Same here! I miss my s2k so much but I also love my Tesla Model 3 perf too

[@ianconn951]

Great car. What's with the music, though?

[@tommyandchill]

V-tecsla 👌

[@craigslist04]

It would have been a better video without the repetitive annoying music.

[@WezleyB]

It would be much better without people giving their unwanted opinions as well..

[@JayDoscher]

Well done, I'd like to hear it go!

[@jc209714]

How much to built something like this?

[@roberthernandez7564]

Please release an unedited version of the drag. Would love to hear the sound of the S2000. Also, please tell us whether or not you defeated the Tesla. :)

[@skarpheinnsmundsson9741]

fastest model 3performance run in the 11.5sec range while this managed a 10.2sec so it´s fairly obvious that it did beat the model 3.

[@grandmaster-grouch]

i need this in my life. i will have this in my life.

[@bored1980]

"People love the spaceship noise of an EV, right? Well, why don't we play music over it!?" *Everyone at the meeting applauds.*

[@BoB-Dobbs_leaning-left]

Why have I not seen a conversion of a standard front wheel drive car with the addition of a standard rear wheel drive axle driven by an electric motor powered by batteries charged by regenerative braking and the underused power of the original motor whilst cruising?. Do I really have to do this on my own? :-)

[@mychickenisburning10]

Yes please

[@philipmanolas2270]

There a such ctr conversion, awd hybrid ctr

[@themodfather9382]

It's good, but that's just a hybrid. You can get Honda Accord Hybrid eCVT or Chevrolet Volt. Really no matter how much you think about it, there is no point, because we are all going electric anyway. Just put a Model 3 battery on every car.

[@BoB-Dobbs_leaning-left]

@@themodfather9382 the point is that you could do this with an existing vehicle and have the extra "poke" when you want it. Shits and giggles.

[@speedstrn]

@@BoB-Dobbs_leaning-left A little bit different setup than what you proposed, but have you seen the Civic Type R with Orbis electric motors at the rear wheels? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4KXnYeGi7dmp8U

[@alexandermjagi6126]

passenger Ryan Gosling?

[@dirtbike165]

Extremely interested!

[@WezleyB]

$8,000 for 646hp.... Cheaper than a ls crate swap..

[@LukeEady]

This is unbelievable! So sick!

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

How about doing that kind conversion with Chevy Cavaliers and other compact cars?

[@ChuckyDoll79]

Si je désire convertir mon véhicule à combustion interne vers le moteur électrique, qu'est-ce que je dois savoir? Quel est le budget moyen à prévoir?

[@brandosocko8092]

How has the Tesla motor been modified? Just removed the electronic governing or something else ?

[@dmedeiros1974]

Wow je veux monter pareille sur une 2006 bmw z4 ... Ca doit ressembler bcp... Combien ca couter??

[@earlpottinger671]

Is it just me, or did it seem he had a late start in the video and could trimmed some time if he had started with the light?

[@skarpheinnsmundsson9741]

Time would have been the same, just the reaction time would change. Time is only recorded from when you start till finish.

[@earlpottinger671]

@@skarpheinnsmundsson9741 Okay. I see.

[@FamilyFirstJ]

Pure genius!

[@dbr550]

What motors/controllers?

[@fcbrants]

Recycling (Tesla & Chevy Bolt Bit & Pieces) at its best ;)

[@skurfntx]

Are these batteries from a Roadster? Can you use this as a daily driver? What's the range? +/-100 miles?

[@mytwilber]

It's in the video. They stuffed *2* 18.4 kWh Chevy Volt battery packs into this car. You can see one of the battery packs in its original T shape in the video.

[@robertramos6638]

Interesting that this setup weighs more than the stock version.

[@skarpheinnsmundsson9741]

Batteries weigh alot.

[@mattobadia]

did it not run a 10.1 at one point?

[@mrbrain80]

Nice music!

[@frederickprigge8423]

Crazy fun day at the strip. Thanks Fred Lambert for coming!

[@stephenwhite1372]

Hell Yeah!! Electric wizardry...

[@Soca47]

If only you could get a wrecked Plaid and evolve this car...

[@marcofecteau]

Beau travail! Dommage qu'il ne soit pas possible de plaquer ce genre de véhicule au Québec

[@15237matt]

Wow you beat Rywire to it!

[@AbstractWerks]

Esque tu a utiliser la subframe d'une Tesla? Avec modifications? Ou es tu fabriquer une solution? Mon Francais n'est pas tres bien haha, merci!

[@336699334]

Looking at the track width, I'd say they left the Tesla subframe as is. They might have changed the mounting positions to suit the car, but it looks like they left the Tesla suspension geometry intact. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, honestly.

[@mytwilber]

You can find more information about this in the Jalopnik article that came out recently. jalopnik.com/an-electric-swapped-honda-s2000-is-delicious-blasphemy-1831441635

[@jerrygoldstein3028]

Probably only 1 pass because it doesn’t have a roll cage running 10 seconds. The photo at the end shows how much the body is twisting at launch.

[@unclereyofficial]

Uncle Rey :))

la musique est vraiment gossante....

[@awdrifter3394]

Someone needs to drop an LS in a Tesla.

[@attackroflchopter4403]

At least mute the crap music during the race, holy hell!

[@Norrr3]

Damn

[@Mathew11281]

Shut off the music

[@powershift5439]

Seriously.. take the music off. I would have subscribed if you wouldnt have played music over the lack of noise that we all wanted to hear.

[@samlung2724]

Take out the passenger next time lol

[@peternguyen2323]

nice car but lame music to make it more. like adding "jazz hands" on top of a beautiful dance routine; annoyingly not necessarily.

[@Shredaholics]

Cool car trash music

[@destructoidx99]

ruined by music

[@MrHmongrice]

stupid music gave me migraine.

[@thienla3834]

Music is stupid

[@solarstacks]

So it's a Tesla.

[@itsjussjerry]

No, it's an s2000

[@WezleyB]

Is an ls swapped s2000 a Chevy?!? No...

It has more Chevy parts than Tesla parts in it. jalopnik.com/an-electric-swapped-honda-s2000-is-delicious-blasphemy-1831441635
