A 1970s Lotus Esprit, the car James Bond drove, gets an electric motor swap. The original engine made 180 hp and 150 ft-lb of torque. The new setup delivers 300 hp and 370 ft-lb, making it borderline scary to drive.
It's the same car that James Bond, you know, drove. Alone at last. It's just one of those heartbreaker cars, you know, this is one I had in my locker, you know, all through high school. It is a bit of a don't meet your heroes kind of car. It had about 180 horsepower and was pretty pathetic. From a performance standpoint, but if you look in, that is an example of the motor that we would use. That little motor that is maybe this big, it's about 370 foot-pounds of torque and about 300 horsepower when you use it with that inverter. Hit it. So this car that used to have 180 horsepower and maybe 150 foot-pounds of torque is now going to have double, if not triple its power, and it's going to absolutely fly. It's going to be borderline scary.
