This is amazing. Swedish guys convert ‘66 Impala to Tesla rwd electric. 550hp equivalent. Weighs the same as the original. Wildwood front brakes, electric power steering, Tesla rear brakes with regen from the power unit. What fun!
Battery unit made from Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid batteries.
Trunk. Tesla drive unit visible end of trunk floor.
Plug in charging at old filler location under license plate.
Pointing to air suspension control. Drive control and display on right. Adjustable regen.
Tesla drive unit for their next Impala.
Drive unit will bolt in there on Impala frame. That top cross member is added to mount the rear suspension.
View showing front frame and suspension. The horizontal square tubes are for battery unit support.
