In its heyday, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 epitomized rugged capability and family utility, offering a unique blend of off-road prowess and practicality unmatched by traditional muscle cars. Now undergoing a modern transformation, the FJ40 transitions from its traditional petrol engine to a Tesla-powered electric motor, preserving its iconic character while embracing sustainable technology.
Led by the experts at Inverted, renowned for their electromodded Ranger Rovers, the FJ40 receives a zero-emission powertrain upgrade, replacing its noisy internal combustion engine with an electric motor.
Customers can choose between two powertrain options, including a manual gearbox variant boasting 215 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque, or an automatic transmission option featuring a Tesla-sourced motor producing 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque.
Despite the electrification, the FJ40 retains its original charm, offering both 2WD and 4WD configurations to suit various driving conditions. Enhanced with modern amenities such as touchscreen infotainment, leather upholstery, and advanced safety features, the electric FJ40 combines classic appeal with contemporary comfort.
