Videos – Electric BMW E30 3 Series beats a Tesla Roadster

VST Conversions, an auto shop based in Croatia, took a stock 1986 BMW 3 Series E30 model and transformed it into a super fast electric car.

The 1986 E30 323 BMW was equipped with a new motor and batteries. A pair of power packs using Headway cells sending their juice through a Zilla controller to a Netgain WarP11 HV series DC motor makes it possible for  the car to deliver more than 500 horsepower. It sprints a quarter mile in just 12.1 seconds.

To see how well the car does, the guys at VST Conversions put the E30 electric car against a Tesla Roadster. Surprisingly, the E30 won — proving that electric cars are not necessarily slow:
