Founded by father-and-son team Lee and Dylan Coleman, StreetFighter LA is known as one of the few U.S.-based manufacturers of wide-body kits. Currently, StreetFighter LA sells kits for a number of popular performance vehicles, such as the BMW M3, Mitsubishi Evo X and the Chevrolet Camaro.
Its latest creation marries a wide-body 911 with an all-electric powertrain. Called the E-RWB, the car is a 1977 Porsche 911 with an RWB Backdate body kit that's powered by a 420-kilowatt drive unit from a Tesla Model S.
The full modification list is extensive and can be viewed over on the Pelican Parts forum. It includes a custom set of 17-inch BBS RS wheels, “GT3-inspired” suspension from Elephant Racing, and a custom interior featuring Burberry fabric inserts. Pelican Parts was also enlisted to help with the build.
Let us know what you think of this all-electric RWB 911. And what sort of car would you drop a Tesla powerplant into if given the option?

That's sweet. EV West does some similar stuff with stock bodied 911s. For me, I'd have loved to do that with my old '63 Mercury Comet. It weighed in at about 2500 lbs in stock form (with heavy seats and an iron 6 cyl) so I'd bet that it could be kept under 3000 lbs with the Tesla stuff in it.
I want to like it but the polished cage just loses me.

The bar of the cage as an anti-whiplash device is *ahem* a novel choice
Holy mother of all that is holy. Why is the only thing I ever wanted all of a sudden a wide body Maserati biturbo with an electric conversion?
Like sell my soul kind of E36 M3?

So you made me go and look. I didn't find any wide body kits for the biturbo. Big profit opportunity for someone!!
Beautiful show car that won't get driven. I have a sneaking suspicion this is what future hotrodding of ICE platforms looks like.

The problem with a lot of high dollar builds. All show, no go (even though they have it)

There were some factory variants that were sorta widebody. Shamal and Ghibli.
Me, I'd love to put the drivetrain in an ND Miata. But properly. The 1966 Cadillac would work pretty nicely as an EV as well, it's basically what Cadillac was going for.

You act like this is a new idea. Trailered and even completely undriveable show cars have been a thing since the first custom cars were built. There's an entire city block filled with them every year at SEMA.
