Electrify Your Datsun 280Z ! The Ultimate EV Conversion Kit is Here!

The Datsun 280Z is a classic sports car, powered by a 2.8L inline-six engine producing 145 HP (naturally aspirated) or 180 HP (turbocharged). It features a curb weight of approximately 1,280 kg and a design focused on balance and driving engagement.

A proposed GMT electric conversion replaces the internal combustion engine with a triple-in-one (motor, controller, reducer) electric powertrain. The system operates at 360V with a rated power of 50 kW and a peak output of 100 kW. It delivers an impressive wheel-side torque of 2,450 N·m and a wheel speed of 1,272 RPM. This conversion transforms the 280Z into a high-torque electric vehicle while retaining its original RWD layout and character.
