This is an earlier model than the GT-12 but has the same side scoop, roofline and windows. Different headlights. For better ingress/egress and aerodynamics, clone the Volkhart-Saggita.

The suspension would be light-years ahead and it would weigh less.
Magnetic drive is the future, here now with junkyard OEM parts. I would favor the
Toyota MGR overvolted with a boost inverter, and with its optional external oil cooler. Summit Racing has refurb battery packs for $2000. All the parts you need are at
OpenEV Store - OpenEV Store or
EVTV Motor Verks Store
I saw one EV conversion at the Bugrun this year, it was I think DC with Lithium batteries. They were saying hold on for a little while. I've put my own EV conversion on hiatus.
