Watch A Crazy Tesla-Powered Kit Car Tear Down The Quarter-Mile
With a Tesla P85-sourced drive unit putting out around 400bhp in a fibreglass kit car package, this is one potent little EV!
It’s been about four years since the Tesla Roadster went out of production, so what if you want bonkers electrical power in a sports car package now? Ottawa-based Eurodyne and Tapp Auto have one solution, which involves taking a Factory Five Racing 818 fibreglass kit car, and stuffing in a rear-wheel drive P85 drive unit hooked up to a pair of Chevrolet Volt battery packs.
It’s producing somewhere in the region of 400bhp, and at just over 1100kg it’s a damn sight lighter than a Tesla. It means the electric 818 is able to lay down a respectable 10 second quarter-mile, although Eurodyne reckons a nine second pass is possible.

I feel offended
Funniest filming fail…
Sorry for the smoke…
Sorry for the camera falling off
It’s a good fail because of what caused it lol
It does all of this with only 2 Volts?! That’s mighty impressive!
That is ONE good looking electric car
It’s called the factory five 818c usually u put a ej20, fa20, or ford ecoboost 2.3 in ig
So I’m guessing the disclaimer with this kit car was “battery’s not included”
The factory five 818 is typically powered by a Subaru WRX running gear, so I would guess this took a lot of thought to make this work. Still, it was an awesome build!
This car might even make me like electric cars a bit more
Can someone tell me how to remove the image I put by accident? I don’t know how to remove it
Does anyone know how to remove the image I put by accident? It’s not the one i wanted to upload
