by A homemade electric car based on an old ZAZ was put on the start line with Tesla Model S. At first glance, the very idea may seem funny and ridiculous, but do not rush ahead. Firstly, it is worth remembering that the Humpback is very compact and light, and secondly, its acceleration dynamics directly depend on the power of the electric unit…
In this case, a native of Kropyvnytskyi equipped his ZAZ-965 with a power unit from the first-generation Nissan Leaf. What did it give? We can’t even imagine what it feels like during the acceleration inside such a Zhuzhik, but just think about it – it accelerates from 0 to 100 km per hour in 4 and a half seconds! While Tesla (in this case P85) covers the first hundred in 6+ seconds. In general, watch and be amazed (but don’t laugh from the first seconds, it won’t be funny later).
