Nicely done.

I would guess it has the Tesla launch control also. Tough to put 450 HP down with those little tires and be turning 0-60 in 3 seconds without it.

I like this quote from the article...

"Richard has faced more than his fair share of enraged purists in his time, everyone would likely be far better served if the naysayers channeled their anger into actually restoring cars themselves, in the way they believe it should be done. Preferably without the horsewhips."

I had seen this. Love it but nothing like the sound of a gas engine.

Not bad. Good luck getting 220k USD for it, though...

 

[Belgiumbarry]

for $220k i would have a E9 AND a Tesla

PS no , no Tesla for me.....

Probably could get $200k if it was LHD.

RHD...limited market.

I love it. Better than all the rust buckets that are being neglected (like mine).

Throw of the dice to get 200. Maybe...maybe not. Very limited market, even here in the bay area. Some techie wonk maybe...just maybe

Very cool, but I would not have done that to that beautiful car.
