A motor swap or slapping on a turbo isn't possible in California while passing (although for $75k you could buy a studio in Nevada, or pay many, many dubious smog shops year after year, so)...It also lacks instant-from-zero power that an electric motor has...

I guess you could put an E-ROD LS in for half that money and still have it be smog legal, but Porsche volk tend to freak out about Chevy engine swaps due to an increasingly absurd brand loyalty.

But yeah, that price tag, eh? I do wonder what the market is. I just love the concept of an inline electric motor between the ICE and transmission.
