Electrogenic on Instagram are converting a Cerbera to EV, with a tesla motor.

35Kw battery pack in the front, motor down the tunnel, could be one to watch

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.

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

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.

I had it in my mind a fully loaded ancilleries and all was 175Kg? 120Kg is even better than I thought

Dunno - I'll drop them a message

Electrogenic responded, said it took a pause because the owner was distracted but it's back in the workshop and expected to finish in about 3 months.

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.

Ok it’s Steve Heaths car, so I assume he is part of this outfit.

Is this the Steve Heath? Time for another chat at Bicester in October
