That is hideous.....

I hope they won't use real 105 shells to create that abomination....

Cheers.

Must say I quite like it, from the perspective of it tying together classic and modern design and engineering. It certainly won't please the purists though.

Where's the modern engineering? The 105 coupe is a late 50's early 60's chassis/body design made of tissue thin metal with nada CAD safety or structural elements.  Bolting in a Tesla drivetrain would be more successful (stiffer/faster).  Get a Busso soundtrack CD

There already is an EV 105 out there.

This one is done quite well IMHO. A tasteful mix of modern and classic.

I think the whole thing is quite exquisite, but I don't want to know the cost, I don't need another stroke!
