Retro Electro - Episode 7 - The Burnout

In this final episode of the series, Mike Kiraly shows us that despite being a 100% electric vehicle, Retro Electro still has the power needed to do a burnout. This was one of the challenges that Kiraly had to face while constructing Retro Electro, build an electric vehicle but still give it the power of a classic v8 powered hotrod.

Are you kidding me thats the best smell ever, it reminds me of when i was a little kid and my Dad would take me to car shows.

this is cool, and its a fantastic build. but I agree with the below, there's just no replacement for the sound of a healthy V8

When that line locker (burnout) was done, I guess you can't use regenerative braking :-)

I'd be interested in a parts list\cost spec sheet. Is this something you can share for other DIY'ers? I'm rebuilding a 56' and was going to put in an LS engine but after adding solar to my home I'd be interested in going electric for this project.

Just get a sound generator to fix the sound issue.

Gas sucks, I hate the smell of an old engine churning out fumes...
