Electric Ferrari 308 GT – The Car that Shouldn’t Exist

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or at least that’s what the old adage says. While we wouldn’t necessarily consider this Ferrari trash, it was in need of some love after it caught on fire.

After the original V8 melted down, the car would breathe life again in a form that no Ferrari enthusiast would have ever imagined to be a reality.

Instead of restoring the car, the Ferrari 308 GT would receive a little bit of love in the form of an electric motor to get it to go – perhaps one of the most head-turning power plants that you could find in one of these bad boys.

While the diehard enthusiasts sit around a table and discuss whether or not this unique swap is more blasphemous than powering the pasta rocket with an American V8 of not, we will let you enjoy all that the car has to offer in the video below.

Check it out and tell us what you think. We think that the manual gearbox here is a unique feature, especially considering it’s motor pairing.
