Holy shit.
Slightly O/T, but I love that a Texan calls a Mustang 'small'
Mustangs are small to Americans. Crazy but true.
That is an awesome build though!
electric s13 anyone?

Would actually suit the character of the car really well being Japanese and all - I'd want a 5 speed sequential box like in a Formula E car

Yea it would be a shame to lose that boost and for it to be so quiet but that electric motor they are using with that overdrive thing is awesome!
An electric S13 would be awesome, for all of the 5 minutes the batterys lasted
that mustang is pretty! shame they look out of place in the UK, if i lived in the US I'd have a muscle car for sure.
$125k to have that done sounds half way decent! Not to say I have that much cash knocking around but still

I totally agree, I love American/Aus muscle cars but they just look ott here for the most part. The best I could do with my sbody is stick the power plant from a Nissan Leaf or Prius in it!
Someone should get an electric motor in the boot and keep the CA/SR up front, I'd like to see that done!
I reckon just one of those DC motors giving 400bhp and 900 lb/ft would be pretty awesome in an S-Body, coupled to the FE 5 Speed (that thing only had two gears!) would be even better
Come on, someone with more engineering skill than me build it

The old mustangs don't look too out of place here anymore, really they're similar to a Ford Mondeo in size.
Give it 5 years and someone will have fitted an e-booster onto an S body / Supra or some such to see what happens.

That is quite an interesting looking gadget, I wonder how long before they start appearing and being messed with?
They've been on the market for years guys, +20BHP yo!
Shame it looks like it will end up in a 3 ton SUV first.
Permanent magnet AC or even AC induction motors are generally much better than DC motors (smaller, more efficient etc.). Inverter electronics are maybe a grand or two (I work for a firm that makes themI reckon just one of those DC motors giving 400bhp and 900 lb/ft would be pretty awesome in an S-Body, coupled to the FE 5 Speed (that thing only had two gears!) would be even better

But...
That's a 1.1 megawatt lithium polymer battery!! That's where the big expense always lies with electrifying vehicles (with performance better than a milk float).
Not long. Audi have one going into production soon. They are used as transient fill-ins rather than power adders. Basically you could have a massive turbo to make 200hp/l + and use an e-booster to get the boost threshold lower (BIG battery back needed for that though) or to go from vacuum to full boost in <0.5s at any engine speed. Theoretically it allows you to scale up a size in turbine housing to free up RPMs for peak power. So instead of opting for a 2871 and it getting strangled above 6000rpm because of the turbine housing, you could hit a 3071 with a slightly larger A/R and keep making power at much higher RPM.
The tricky bit is coming up with a recharge strategy. Those things are quite thirsty and do their best work at 48V rather than 12.

The 11” motors are rated at 500 Amps for 5 minutes, 250 Amps for 1 hour, and 200 Amps continuous.
500amps x 288Volts = 144 Kw x effy 0.76 = 109 Kw = 146bhp.
The motors appear to be rated at 150bhp for 5 min. 75bhp for 1 hour and 60bhp continuous. I can't find a rating for 800bhp. Expect it is under 1 min.
So by the end of 10 miles all he will have hanging out from under this car is a load of molten slag.
If you think you can do a track day with this car forget it, you would have 150bhp to piss around on. OK so you do 20min sessions, may get 200bhp to play with and then dump a CO2/NO2 bottle though the motor to cool it off.
S13 Done and dusted years ago.
Just used 2x 9" motors and as those run 144V and not 288V 1/2 the battery.
