This video showcases a truly 'insane' 1969 Volkswagen Crew Cab, meticulously converted by Electric Classic Cars. The star of the show is its Tesla Model S drivetrain, delivering a staggering 450 horsepower – a tenfold increase over the original 47 horsepower. The reviewer highlights the seamless integration of the Tesla motor and a 100kWh Model X battery pack, noting the surprising subtlety of its electric nature until it unleashes its mind-bending acceleration. Key upgrades include power steering, upgraded suspension with Bilstein shocks, and Porsche brakes, making it not just fast but also more practical and capable of towing. While the reviewer praises the build quality and the sheer thrill of the conversion, they also emphasize the raw, driver-focused nature of the vehicle, lacking modern driver aids, which demands respect. The reviewer concludes that this electric VW Crew Cab is a 'Ferrari-killing' machine, a testament to the innovative spirit of Electric Classic Cars.
