VW 1.1 liter four cylinder four stroke engine in a Trabant (usually equipped with a .6 liter 2 cyl 2 stroke). Although that one was a factory change for the last model year.

This is what it used to look like for the previous 40-ish model years:

How about an air-cooled VW with an all electic motor swapped in?

Top speed 85 MPH, range 65 miles. Acceleration-wise, this car ain't too shabby either, hitting 40 MPH from a standing stop within 6 seconds. I'd bet a stock one can't do that.

This is in a Datsun 510.


Has the gauge cluster too:

A cool feature on this car is the owner threw on a Y-pipe with one side exiting in front of the passenger rear tire and the other outlet goes to a Honda Civic muffler. A small plate and two butterfly screws is all that is needed to go from a quiet cruiser to loud, in your face awesome.
