Sin or cool idea?: These valuable classic cars were converted into luxury e cars

A Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud from 1961 at the charging station? No April Fool’s joke. Some special companies even convert valuable classic cars to electric cars. A company from Germany takes care of everyday classics.

Strictly speaking, an classic car with an electric motor is no longer a classic car, the conversions are too serious, and it is not uncommon for the sound of the combustion to make up the charm of the old car. Fans of British “Classic Cars” should therefore look at the work of Lunaz with a mixture of fascination and horror. The British disassemble automobile icons such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom or the Aston Martin DB6, which is barely available below 300,000 euros, into their individual parts until only the bare body remains. From there, the car is subjected to a 3D scan and completely rebuilt. E-motor, drive strands and batteries are adapted to the chassis, modern achievements such as navigation system, sound and air conditioning and instruments are visually seamlessly integrated into the interior. Price: around 400,000 euros – without a car, the customer has to bring that himself. German start-ups also offer similar services. Revive from Heide in Schleswig-Holstein electrifies the legendary Porsche 911 from the 1980s. Votlimer from Baden-Württemberg, on the other hand, takes on the icons of long-lasting long-lasting everyday life and puts models such as the Mercedes 230/8 or the Peugeot 205. Advantage of e-classic cars: they become suitable for everyday use.
