A 64kW pack with electronic of a Tesla weights 430kg.
Here it should be about the half, the AJP8 is light, but this car was previously equipped with a LS. And if you remove the gearbox, you should be close to the 200kgs, no? And the electric engine will compensate the weight of the fuel tank.
I asked on instagram, plan is batteries in the front at the moment, I suggest boot for extra range and weight distribution but as they plan this as a track/race car I don't think they are worried about range. Tesla motor is better than the Hyper 9 as it runs a higher voltage/more power output.Here it should be about the half, the AJP8 is light, but this car was previously equipped with a LS.

AJP is what 175Kg? So gearbox, rear diff and engine would be around 250kg so about the 32Kw battery plus electronics. That just leaves the weight of the Tesla motor and gearbox, for 400bhp and all power delivery so should be capable. Only thing as said the weight distribution
Depending on the required range I would think you could get a battery pack where the engine was and one at right angles in front of it, overlapping where the rad was. One or two in the boot given lack of fuel tank. I think they would keep the diff if the motor is going in the tunnel.
What would be really cool is a motor for each wheel with associated electronics for torque vectoring

This is what excites me about the future and EVs. Just because it's possible. What would be really cool is a motor for each wheel with associated electronics for torque vectoring
Now someone also needs to revisit fully active suspension. By fully active, I mean every link is a computer controlled ram. So that's two per wishbone, one replacing each suspension unit, and also the track rods. Think about it...

AJP minus throttle bodies/flywheel is 120kg.. I picked mine up to load it in to the back of my truck with a bad back. It is no where near 175kg.AJP is what 175Kg?

Part of me hates this but i am intrigued to see if they can build a decent electric Cerbera. If it’s not got instant acceleration and if it doesn’t blow super cars into the weeds then it will be a bit pants. I assume that the lack of traction control will have an adverse impact on handling and acceleration.
I chatted to them at Bicester a few months back and enquired. It's one of their employees/engineers and he's been distracted on other work. Not much info then, but he was using chinese motors and batteries, with the plan to have it rapid charging in 20 mins or so. It was going to be short range, track/race days weapon.
