The TesLorean project is to integrate technology (including the drive unit) from a Model S into a DeLorean DMC-12. The DeLorean is rear-wheel drive and rear engined.
This isn't going to be easy or quick, but it is going to be fun. On the exterior it will - to the casual observer - appear to be a DeLorean (there's only one model), but underneath the stainless steel skin will be as much Tesla Model S as I can cram in. I've got a 7in tablet in the cabin, a Tesla 17in would have meant no room for a passenger
After much deliberation I've selected the Model S 70D rear motor as the drive unit. It (probably) fits in the DeLorean engine bay and has a transmission configuration that (should) replace the DeLorean transmission - key is a drive shaft route to the rear wheels.
I'll be using this thread to document all the project trials and tribulations...
