Adding an all-electric Tesla powertrain into other vehicles isn’t something new, but this is the first Liberty Walk Nissan 350Z to get the conversion. This meant swapping out the existing 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engine for a Tesla subframe. In other words, they had to keep the Tesla subframe to run the electric motor in the rear, and the only way to do so was to install a Liberty Walk widebody kit.
What really stands out is that the Liberty Walk kit essentially converts the 350Z front end into a 370Z front end. The body kit is currently wrapped, but is set to get painted in the future. Yes, the interior has not been stripped entirely bare and can actually seat two adults comfortably, complete with Sparco racing seats.
- UL 2272 certified for safety. Smart Battery Management System for reliability. IP54 waterproof protection.
- Sturdy & Powerful: Compact design, 28 lbs, 220 lbs max load. Dual 400W motors, 10 mph max speed, 13.7 miles per charge, 15° slope.
- Road Adaptive Design: 10.5" pneumatic tires for smooth ride. Knee control bar for precise steering, easy lifting. Age: 16-50. Height: 3.11-6.6".
Some of the main components of the electric motor swap are the batteries and the charging system. To keep everything organized, Will and the boys fabricated custom battery boxes for the front and the rear of the vehicle,” said Throtl.
