    Man Spends So Much Time, Effort and Money On Rolls-Royce Wraith EV Conversion His Wife Left Him

    Canadian businessman Vincent Yu was so focused on achieving his goal that he ended up losing a lot more than money.

    His goal was to convert his Rolls-Royce Wraith into an EV and although he has finally managed this over the past four years, he ended up selling his house to finance the conversion which ultimately resulted in his wife leaving him when she got fed up with the project.

    Surely someone with a Rolls-Royce Wraith has enough disposable money to pursue a conversion like this? Either way, Yu is very proud of what he has achieved and reports that the electronic Wraith can do 500 km (311 miles) on a single charge. What is more impressive is the fact that a full charge costs him just C$8 (approx. R100) which is a lot less than the C$120 (approx. R1500) it cost to fill it with petrol.

    Yu has opened up a shop called Mars Power where he is using his knowledge gained from the Wraith conversion to convert other ICE-powered cars into EVs.

    According to Richmond News, his daughter gave him the idea to convert his car after complaining about his driving habits.

    “You shouldn’t act like a wealthy douchebag by driving a stinky car around town and polluting the air,” his daughter said, according to Yu.

    • We have done countless launch control starts in countless cars but this has to be one of the biggest surprises so far. It's not the fastest we have tested but the way it gets 2.2 tons off the line is something to experience. Get the British brute on some grippy tarmac and you will be blown away!

0 to 100 km/h is claimed to be 3.6s and that claim is accurate!

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.
