Once this was just a 200 Kompressor, but thanks to the recent conversion, it’s a real EV.

And if you have the right amount of wires, it can even be yours. Nice and effortless on the boulevard cruising, who wouldn’t want that. Of course, under the surface, nothing of the SLK was left for electrification. So got the small klapdakcabrio up to 32 lithium-ion batteries to the electric motor of sap.

That same electric motor has a power of 50 hp, so the hotter circuitwerk can get you out of your head. The weight distribution seems indeed to be better become, the batteries are on the front and back of the car divided. The electro-SLK weighs after his conversion, a reasonably 1,250 kg.

Only problem is that, unfortunately, nothing is known about the top speed and the range. Both of them are not yet tested, though the seller of 120 km/h and a range of 100 km. Not really figures, for which you have a Tesla Roadster need to leave. The parts cost about 16.000 euros and the car is also re-sprayed. The asking price of 15,000 euro is therefore entirely reasonable to call.

There is still an amount of around 3,500 euros to be counted, because the SLK is not yet approved. We believe it is somewhere very strange that the builder so much effort has been put into an expensive conversion, to then not or barely to be tested with the (probable) loss to sell. But well, the ad check here.

With thanks to Henri for the tip!
