Future-looking firm Electrogenic has converted a DMC-12 into an EV – and, yes, it will still do 88mph
Swapping oily powertrains for cleaner, simpler electric set-ups is becoming huge business. Depending on the scope of what sort of EV-swapped classic you’re in the mood for, there’s likely to be a shop out there for you. Some will sell you a fully restored car without an ICE motor to move it, others will build your dream car, and places like Oxfordshire’s Electrogenic are in one game only: powertrain.
It takes a suitably brisk five seconds to dispatch 0-60mph and its top speed is an estimated 130mph. All of the extra gear adds about 40kg to the ICE car’s weight but notably ups performance. This is an Electrogenic project, though, so the rest of the car has been left alone. These guys are a powertrain business, not a resto shop or dynamics engineers.
