This 1992 BMW 325i Cabrio looks like a standard build, but it's got a secret. Owner Jon Volk swapped in a Tesla powertrain and now it's an instant-burnout machine. Pretty ludicrous, Jon.

 instant torque is amazing. From an actually usable standpoint, it's probably the most fun I've had in any of my project cars.

 The availability of good quality battery technology is a big challenge in doing any swaps now. There's a lot of different battery options out there and some of them are less automotive grade than others.

 I'm going to be introducing a new charging technology called Chatham Oh, dc fast charging that essentially uses micro switches to select the gear in a plug in hybrid.

 Car weights £2,960 lighter than stock weight distribution, which might sound like a lot but basically mimics that of say like a portion 9 30. Need rear bias to help with transition from throttle to break.

 I think there's gonna be a point in the future where, if you want a new modern drive line, it's gonna have to be electric. How do you have fun with that tech and not lose the experience of driving
