This BMW Batmobile Has 450 Electric Horsepower Thanks To A Tesla Powertrain | Carscoops carscoops
Richard describes the E9 as they found it as a “basketcase”. It had been stored with the sunroof open, and as luck would have it, the garage roof developed a water leak directly above the vehicle, essentially turning that wonderful coupe greenhouse into an aquarium. The interior was destroyed, there were plenty of dents, and the paint was bubbled from rust trying to escape.
Of course, if you look under the hood, you won’t find a fuel-injected version of BMW’s venerable 3.0-liter straight-six; instead, there’s a part of a battery pack from a. The pack is split into two parts, with the remaining cells in the trunk. The electric motor is also sourced from a Tesla, and sits where the rear differential used to be. A staggered set of Alpina wheels completes the look perfectly.
A stock CSL would have produced just 203 horsepower and 292 nm of torque; that number has been more than doubled to 450 horsepower and 450 nm of torque. The result of the swap is a 0-60 mph time of just 3 seconds, while still maintaining over 200 miles of range. To bring the vehicle to a stop, the brakes have been upgraded to Wilwood discs on all four corners.
The restomod took almost two years to complete, and after all that time, Richard was itching to take it for a test drive on some of those famous British B-roads. When the CSL takes off, we thought our computer speakers broke, but of course, an electric motor doesn’t make a sound. Silly us. Although once Richard steps on the gas, the slight electrical noise does remind us ofAt the end of the day, we love to see a destroyed classic get a new lease on life, whether it is gasoline-powered or not.
