An electric Zaporozhets from Ukraine managed to overtake the Tesla Model S

A resident of Kropivnitsky decided to modify a ZAZ-965, popularly known as "Zaporozhets". After the upgrade the car was able to overtake the Tesla Model S on the highway.

ZAZ-965 became a base for electric vehicle. The enthusiast installed the power plant of the first generation from Nissan Leaf. The upgrade allowed the "Electrozaporozhets" to overtake the 2012 Tesla Model S.
