1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1966 Cadillac Coupe De Ville custom convertible known as "dEVille" is powered by a 394hp (292.5 kW) electric motor with 1,000 ft/lbs of torque, mated to a 1-speed automatic transmission. It was built for SEMA 2021 by Legacy EV in Tempe, AZ. A modern twist on a vintage Cadillac, this Electro-Mod retains almost all the original interior and exterior styling and took over 8 months to build. An NMC lithium-ion battery pack (55kwh) powers three inline Hyper9 Motors featuring a Synchronous Reluctance Internal Permanent Magnet Motor (SRIPM) controlled by SmartView Motor software. The Hyper9 has a power-to-weight ratio of 0.73 kw/lb (or 0.97 hp/lb), more than any other motor in its class, and boasts 95% efficiency. The all-red interior includes custom door panels with updated, digital stereo system, custom Dakota Digital gauges and steering wheel by PearlCraft. This Cadillac "dEVille" rides on 20-inch EVOD wheels and retains its stock chassis, control arms and spindle, and includes upgraded front disc brakes. Legacy EV provided the lift/lowering kit and an air management system by Airlift. The exterior is painted Bright White by Burges Customs and features custom LED headlights and taillights, rubber moldings by Caddy Daddy and a white convertible top.
