Teslarossa Ep7 - First test drive 

Are you ever going to give this car back to the owners. 😂

I don't know if anyone remembers the Outrun arcade game from the 80s, which featured a Testarossa, but driving this conversion with the soundtrack to that game blasting away would be a dream.

Can I just say, a bit off-topic, how gorgeous the landscape is there in your neck of the woods, lovely!!

It would be interesting to hear the customer's perspective once they've had it for a while

Watching the Teslarossa quietly go up the path is amazing - it _seems_ a part of nature in this quiet configuration.

Amazing project!! I guess this is a good way to make a Testarossa reliable. 😊 Such a beautiful body design… ❤

It sounds like a ship from Star Wars when it passes by. Its awesome. Original styling but nice and silent driving.

Lovely job. You should ask the owner if he'd allow Harry Metcalfe to do a road test on it and compare it to his petrol version. I'd love to see that.

Breathed new life into an amazing looking car let down by an antique engine. I absolutely love what you do with these and this was done to perfection.

Beautiful conversion Richard and crew.

better than new, excellent work ECC

Fantastic! Can’t wait for the traction control and tuned suspension to be ready. Very cool

Great work. You're actually breathing new life into old cars that could be very tricky to own with an ICE engine.

Real work of art and fantastic results for its 1st outing I can see Ferrari calling you up as an advisor to all things electric .

Ah finally!!! Good video Richard! Just look at that beauty!!! It feels like Ferrari knew that sometime this Testarossa could be converted to electric. How awesome is that?

What no fake broom broom noises 😮 ? excellent!

I even got a smile on my face! This conversion is a dream come true. A joy to watch!

Italy has probably issued warrant of arrest with Interpol already. And I do miss the sound of the engine. But it is a beautiful conversion!

As a kid, the Testarossa was THE card to have. Thesedays, we can 3D print our own designs and place them onto car chassis. What a time to be alive!

I've been looking forward to seeing that beast on the road since you started the conversion.. It doesn't disappoint. As for what would be better on those wonderful roads, well, something a little slimmer would probably be a bit more chuckable, but for its size, it looked to handle wonderfully. Great job.

Richard & Tim are the new Crockett & Tubbs! 😁👍

I'll say it again. You made my favorite Ferrari better and I love it even more. Great job buddy.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great to see Richard having so much fun after all the hard work on this project. Never cared for the Testarossa much. But a Teslarossa is another thing all together!

I love the way the video captions interpret your conversation in the car 😊

Get Harry M in to do a back to back comparison with his Testarossa! I’d love to hear his opinion on all this EV classic scene and you Teslarossa especially!!

Sound like a spaceship! GJ guys.

Sounds like Knight Rider under acceleration. Love it!

its a tough life, driving that is a real tough part of your day I bet! Enjoy it mate!

Still one of the best looking Ferrari’s of all time

Very impressive! Got a little worried when I saw the sheep so close to the road! lol

What a beautiful sight 😮🤠💯🇬🇧👊

This is awesome! 15 yr old me from 1987 would have passed out with excitement seeing this. I was disappointed that you didn't wear your pastel suits with t-shirts to shoot this. I'm off to listen to Yan Hammer and Phil Colins

that is so awesome. well done mate.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Well done you two. Jim Bell (Australia)

Fantastic conversion. Looks like a lot of fun to drive. We do electric conversions at my shop in the states. Just finished at 9:12 Porsche and it is a lot of fun to drive plenty of spirit and soul. I am thinking a Maserati bora would be a wonderful conversion.

Fantastic 😍😍 keep going with the set up and traction control. I am very looking forward to the lap times and what the owners think..

Love this series

You guys are doing wonders!

I love the sound it makes, too!

Talk about a dream car, this is so cool, love watching this series!

You're having way too much fun, aren't you supposed to be working? As always, nice job guys and thank you for this video.

I'm really old school. I have an affinity for the '65-'69 Chevrolet Convair. I would love to see you get your hands on one and electrify it...😉

Your face and gushing comments about your creation, the TeslaRossa says it all Moggie, and that’s on its first shakedown run out! Things can only get better ❤

Richard I want or need one of these. This is the only Testarossa I would purchase. Great job guys! #ferrari #teslarossa

Love the totally unbothered sheep on the side of the road. There are advantages to a quiet car.

A little disappointed there wasn't a massive power-slide in the opening scene...

The sound of the flat 12 is part of the 'rossas soul, surely...

Beautiful car, even now, and even better because it is fast, reliable AND economical (unlike the factory version). Great job guys!

Would be cool to see Harry’s Garage review it with comparison to his

if given a choice, I'd choose this over any ICE Ferrari. I don't want to be a rich guy, don't need much, until this. Any classic supercar but electrified.🥺🥺

100% Amelioration .... top job chaps !

What a fabulous project!!!!!

beautiful car, conversion and video! 🎉

perfect the magnam pi-selleck smirk on takeoff..

I love the sound of a proper engine as much as the next guy, but I also know how expensive and fiddly these high powered 12 cyl engines are. I've seen them auctioned off in Bangkok for 5% of their actual new price with a busted engine that is out of production. Point being; this is by far the best conversion you guys have done so far, in my opinion. And the one that gives you the most bang for buck. It's even fast, and I bet has better road-holding. Well done guys.

Sounds awesome, sounds like the future

Wow 😮just bloody brilliant guys 😮 want one , need one 🙏 great video 👍👍👍

Flying through all this beautiful scenery...without ripping your (or anyone else's) eardrums apart! This Testarossa deserved this upgrade! Now it's the world's BEST Testarossa. Even without traction control, that car is quick!

Great one!! Can't wait for the next one!!

Gotta say, very odd not to hear it’s v12 song. But you know, I think you’ve improved it. Seriously. Well done! Not only have you improved the overall performance but you’ve also improved the maintenance aspect as well. 👏🏻 Can’t wait to see what it does after the suspension tune. 👍🏻🙂

Driving a Ferrari all day and not repairing the next days sounds like a clever plan!. Making dayli drivers out of this beautiful classic cars is really great. Next is a MG A or B.

Sounds great!

When can I fly over and drive that car??? It looks awesome!

This icon of the 80s goes pretty well together with the "E-Sound". I did not see all their videos yet, but i imagine a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am "KITT" with electric motor would be a perfect match.

0:02 looks and sounds like the future!!!🤯🤯⚡⚡

Excellent video. Thanks

Loved the sound the vehicle makes, gave me a real thrill, must be so much fun to drive. I definitely want one, and really looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.

Apart from being technically improved in every way, I really like that 80s sci-fi-movie-car sound it makes now. 😁 Oh, if only the classic Ferrari Modulo and Bertone Stratos Zero concept cars was converted like this too - they finally would sound as futuristic as they look!

Great job.

That is fantastic!

Love the noise Moggy it sounds like a space ship. I wonder if you can increase the sound levels? I'd love one!

Classic Car owners: "if only we could have electric versions of these wonderful old cars" Moggs: "hold my beer"

Think you've done a fantastic job mate, and thing that got my attention was the look, the stance, and the car is so much better looking with you having fit the bigger sized wheels and tyres. Ferrari should have had it leave the factory like this. Fits the arches so much better and simply looks amazing. Looking forward to the 0-60 times once you've set up suspension, traction control fitted and so on. Great content and keep it coming, loving it mate 👍

Great job! Looks like a real improvement in the handling.

Love your work 👍

You gotta love this.

Havent seen it but i bet its gonna be awesome!

One of my favourite roads in the word - top of Elan valley through to Ysbyty Ystwyth... would absolutely love driving that, though my 70s X1/9 was pleasant enough :)

You took the passion out of this car! Just kidding, I want to drive it, this project is awesome!

Nice!!

What a beauty!

Legend reborn! 🔥

What a fantastic job. Would love to hear from the owner if they ever get it back 😁. I also echo the comments of Harry Metcalfe having a go as a testarossa owner and bit of an EV skeptic.

Great job. Electric doesn't mean overengineered like today's "smartphones on wheels". KEEP IT CLASSIC - and simple!!!

That Teslarossa is great

Beautiful..

Imagine a Caterham 7 one those roads with the same powertrain…. THAT would be really something

A fantastic classic design with a very modern drive-train and sci-fi sounds. What a perfect blend! Very well done! :)

Brilliant 👏

That sounds so cool!!! Congrats guys :D

Looking forward to the next

I love it! I really want one!

This was an interesting first test.

I had hired one when I was in America all most 20 years ago & I could only imagine how good this must feel to drive now…amazing 👌

50 seconds in and you already have 3 likes! Well done!

I think this special Ferrari is somehow made for a Tesla motor. And the sound totaly fits it. Beautiful

Last car I drove up the Elan Valley was the Fox and that was a hoot on those little roads (even with it's diminutive 40bhp ICE). I'll get back up there with it some time.

just amazing sooooooo good

Beautiful! Only because you asked the question: Aston Martin DB9 would be rather at home on those roads...

That car is awesome, and why no!t Turning an awesome looking car in to the best driven. I hope you get to do a lampo. Seem your ticking off the list of rear engine sports cars 😊
