EPIC 450HP TESLA POWERED SPECTRE DEFENDER - DRIVEN UP A MOUNTAIN

EV Channels Review

This video showcases an extraordinary Tesla-powered Land Rover Defender SVX Spectre Edition conversion by Electric Classic Cars. The reviewer is thoroughly impressed by the vehicle's immense power, delivering 450hp and 0-60mph in approximately 5 seconds, thanks to a Tesla drive unit and a 100kWh battery pack. The conversion excels in off-road capability, boasting upgraded heavy-duty axles, three limited-slip differentials, and impressive torque from 0 RPM, negating the need for traditional high-low gears. The interior has been luxuriously updated with heated seats and increased driver space due to the absence of a clutch pedal and gear sticks. While the vehicle's "garden shed with parachutes" aerodynamics and rolling resistance necessitate the large battery, its performance, especially the smooth and powerful torque application, makes off-roading exceptionally easy and enjoyable, even for those with limited experience. The cost of such a conversion ranges from £75,000 to £90,000, with smaller conversions starting from £15,000-£20,000. The reviewer concludes that this electric Defender is an "off-roading monster" and a truly "epic" vehicle.
