Don't even joke about gremlins. Just because Azteks are uglier does not mean that they aren't among the most hideous affronts to automotive engineering.

One of my obsessions is the Steyr Daimler Puch Pinzgauer 710m or K.

4 wheel independent suspension, hydraulically-locking differentials, portal axles, geared hubs, and a 2.5l air-cooled inline 4 at 45 degrees.

This makes it virtually impossible to swap the engine because (A) it's a cab-over (B) it has no facilities for the fitment of a radiator (C) there's literally nothing in the realm of internal combustion that will fit in the hole.

BUT.

Ohhh yeah. A Tesla model S mill and engine controller will strap on there just fine, thanks. And, since one of the most common Pinzgauer modifications is the addition of 1000lbs of ballast in the back (they're designed to ride correctly with a platoon of Swiss conscripts in the back), there's no doubts that batteries could be added without hurting the functionality whatsoever. And since a Pinzgauer redlines at 4800 rpm (90HP bitchez!) which limits their absolute top speed to 65mph, a 16,000 rpm, 300HP electric mill will virtually guarantee that you'll have the first and only Pinz capable of freeway speed. It'll probably have a range measured in feet, considering the aerodynamics of a Pinz are right up there with Tuff Shed, but "peak torque at 0 RPM" is a rock crawler's fantasy.

Looking forward to having a garage again.
