Mike discovers a 1985 Maserati BiTurbo that was converted to electric in the early 90's AND HOPES TO MAKE A PROFIT........... I am sure hilarity ensues. Must see TV

It's fake. Nothing but CGI. Only way it can work.

Well, maybe if they ripped out all the Marelli/Lucas electrics, it will be reliable enough to actually drive? Either way, DVR is set up to record for posterity.

I wish Discovery would get over themselves and let me stream Wheeler Dealers.

I'm not willing to "buy" them off Amazon or Google Play.

Will be interesting to say the least.

They're supposedly turning it into an electric car.

It already had been back in 1993! They upgraded motors, batteries, etc. 120 mile range sounded interesting to me.

You had me at BiTurbo.

Which is good because that was almost the last word in the title.

Coolest thing ever. A BiTurbo, electric car that retains the clutch pedal. I wouldn't normally want a electric car because of the no trans thing.

But that electric VW van that MIKE test drove was also sweet.
