We still associate EVs with economical driving, saving the planet and whatnot, but not everybody agrees with this point of view and some people take standard cars with conventional engines, strip everything out and give it an electric powertrain, usually more powerful than what it replaced.
This 1995 BMW E36 M3 is a perfect example of that. Its straight-six engine was pulled out and replaced by a 420 hp electric motor and a whole lot of batteries. It looks like a lot of fun to drive such a powerful electric car and with instant power and torque delivery, ruining the rear tires is not that difficult.
The car will compete in the Pikes Peak competition in July, along with six other electric vehicles and over 100 cars plus around 120 motorbikes.
