EPIC 450HP TESLA POWERED BMW 3.0 CSI BATMOBILE - LIGHTENING QUICK AND FOR SALE

EV Channels Review

This video showcases a remarkable 1975 BMW 3.0 CSi, famously nicknamed the 'Batmobile,' which has undergone an extraordinary Tesla electric conversion. The presenter highlights the car's comprehensive restoration, including a bare-metal respray and a fully re-trimmed interior. The original 3-liter straight-six engine has been replaced with a 450hp Tesla Performance motor (from a P85 Model S) and an 85kWh battery pack, enabling a 0-60 mph time of just over 3 seconds and an estimated range of 180-200 miles. The reviewer, though unable to drive it extensively, experiences a brief demonstration, noting its alarming acceleration and smooth power delivery. The car is presented as a unique, albeit polarizing, blend of classic aesthetics and modern EV performance, with an estimated auction value between £150,000 and £200,000. The video also provides a tour of other notable vehicles at the Bonhams auction, including a Benetton F1 car and a 1961 Aston Martin DB4.
