Yeah the panel, I'm looking to turn it into a camper/hunting vehicle. I like the Willie's as well but my favorite is the 33 - 38 coupes. Most originals are mucho expensive, I could get a kit car, but just don't like working with fiberglass.
This is what the website says as far as range goes; That works out to just over 400 miles in range. Given that it is built of lightweight materials it should be able to do that provided one resists the temptation to try breaking the sound barrier at every stop light,
Those Ducati SS bikes were bleeding edge machines. Over the years I had two of the regular GT Ducatis and they were both powerful and fast enough for my abilities. I doubt that I could have done justice to anything bigger. One thing I really did like was twisting open the throttle on those big twins though. They took off like rockets without any of the squirming that the Jap bikes were prone to doing back then especially when accelerating hard out of corners.
That seems to be antithetical for why you buy the car in the first place... lol. Yes. Yes I would, burn the tires off. Why not? It isn't like the electric motors are going to be hard to replace. It isn't like an internal combustion motor. These things should be bullet proof.
Bullet proof is relative. If you watch Top Gear/The Grand Tour you might have seen the episode where Richard Hammond crashed the predecessor Rimac on a hill climb. He limped away with a fractured knee but the car caught fire and continued to burn for the next 24 hours or so because once the batteries overheated they constantly reignited the fire. https://www.wheels24.co.za/Fuel_Focus/richard-hammonds-crash-why-did-his-ev-catch-fire-20170614 Yes, the speed is there but we still need to work out some of the problems that accompany this new technology.
This is the earliest Ferrari, 1967 330 P4, I have in Project Cars 2 with my Oculus Rift VR and Fannatec Club Sport wheel, Shifter, Pedals As close as I can get........................
The car sold this weekend. And there you have it, ladies and gentleman. The Ferrari 250 GTO hammers away at $48.4M.
Mecum had a couple super sweet rides this weekend too. There was a Pagani that was insane. Also had a 58 Porsche 550A. And there was a 300SL, and a Model J Speedster.. Truly, a remarkable weekend in Monterey. The Sotheby's auction, the R&M auction, the concurs.. wow..
I did hear a specific old school Jaguar model was being reproduced as an electric car... now, that would be legit.

The E type is the exception for me. I am not a fan of Jaguar in general. That car will be gorgeous, methinks. Still, nothing beats a Yenko.
So, maybe, in a vintage kind of way, a Yenko represents a "better" way than what the OEMs were selling, but to me, the current crop of builders doing Pro Street versions of muscle are more my thing. Anyone can make it fast in a straight line., Stopping, cornering, now those take talent. SCCA has an excellent class this year, CAM-C/S/T which folks can participate in using these very modified pro street cars. Super fun seeing these very old muscle cars actually perform the way we wish they would have in high school...
With respect, this is the second time someone has mentioned this, and if I might make so bold, I would like to correct the misapprehensions. Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898 in Modena, and had little formal education. His father Alfredo, a grocer by trade, started up a workshop fabricating metal parts at the family home, which is where Enzo picked up a bit about mechanics. During World War I he served in the 3rd Mountain Artillery Regiment of the Italian Army. After the war he took a job as test-driver for C.M.N. (Costruzioni Meccaniche Nazionali), a car manufacturer in Milan. He was later promoted to racing car driver and made his competitive debut in the 1919 Parma-Poggio di Berceto hillclimb race, where he finished fourth in the three-litre category at the wheel of a 2.3-litre 4-cylinder C.M.N. 15/20. In 1920, Enzo joined the racing department of Alfa Romeo as a driver. In 1932 Ferrari retired as team driver and founded Scuderia Ferrari, as the racing division of Alfa Romeo. It was at this time the Cavaliere Rampante appeared as a racing emblem. During World War I, Italian fighter pilot Francesco Baracca gave Ferrari a necklace with the prancing horse on it prior to takeoff. Baracca was shot down and killed and in memory of his death, Ferrari used the prancing horse to create the emblem that would become the world-famous Ferrari shield. Initially displayed on Alfa Romeos, the shield was first seen on a Ferrari in 1947. Following Allied bombing of the factory, Ferrari relocated from Modena to Maranello. At the end of the conflict, Ferrari decided to start making cars bearing his name, and founded Ferrari S.p.A. in 1947. The first major victory came at the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a Ferrari 166M driven by Luigi Chinetti and (Baron Selsdon of Scotland) Peter Mitchell-Thomson. In 1950 Ferrari enrolled in the newly-born Formula 1 World Championship and is the only team to remain continuously present since its introduction. Ferrari won his first Grand Prix with José Froilán González at Silverstone in 1951. At no time did he make tractors (that was Ferruccio Lamborghini,) and there is no evidence that he was in any way involved with the Italian Fascists under Mussolini.
Thanks for the links. I did some further research and discovered this little gem. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/...show/classic-mini-electric-first-drive-one-ev Using the classic styling of the original Mini and using all electric power would make it a blast to drive IMO.
