In a thrilling return to Willow Springs, Larry Chen and his sidekick Rob delve into the realm of Robert Downey Jr's electrifying dream cars. The spotlight shines on three converted electric vehicles, each with its own unique flair and eco-friendly edge. First up is the 1965 C2 Corvette, boasting a dual motor EV setup, recycled mushroom interior, and a striking matte paint finish. Under the hood lies a high voltage junction box, battery pack, inverters, and a touchscreen display for monitoring battery life. This Corvette isn't just a pretty face - it's a powerhouse of innovation and sustainability.

Next on the lineup is the Volkswagen bus, a true testament to the marriage of classic design with modern electric technology. Featuring solar panels on the roof, a full-on grill powered by EV batteries, and a spacious interior with upgraded suspension and brakes, this bus is a versatile beast on the road. The standard Volkswagen transmission proves its mettle in handling the electric power output, delivering a seamless driving experience with the ability to select gears for optimal performance. The future of tuning is on full display here, showcasing the potential for electric vehicles to blend power, efficiency, and adrenaline-pumping fun.

Rounding off the trio is the square-key entry vehicle, a true marvel of engineering and design. With a charge port, AC and heat system, and tubular arms for enhanced performance, this car is a symphony of innovation and practicality. Delivering 150 horsepower and 150 foot-pounds of torque, this vehicle offers a glimpse into the future of electric driving experiences. The custom clutch disc setup allows for free revving the motor, adding a touch of classic driving feel to the cutting-edge electric technology. The possibilities are endless as electric vehicles pave the way for a new era of automotive excitement and sustainability.
