That's a cool Nissan Leaf!
Said everyone who's ever seen this one. (probably)

I keep wishing to see a new 911 or Cayman like this. Engine in back and motor in front with no mechanical link between them. Seems like an AWD 911 already has a lot of the components in place. Then get rid of the twin turbo 3.0 and replace with a really peaky 3.0 NA with 9,000 rpm redline.

Very cool. There are people that love the project more than the result. Clearly, the building is one of those folks.

It's cool but it seems like he could have chosen something more conventional (and possibly affordable after all the fabrication that went into this effort) for ICE and transmission. I'd be all about a turbo'd 5cyl Audi DAZA for sound and effect but that's an apples and oranges situation by comparison.

When I noticed the crankshaft lamp in the background - I knew this would be good.
Thanks, Herr Oberst - just amazing......
