Lunaz Electrifies Range Rover Classic with Bespoke Restomod

Lunaz, a British start-up founded in 2018 near Silverstone, specializes in electrifying and re-engineering classic cars, calling the process a 'remaster' rather than a restoration. The company focuses on British icons like Bentley, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, and Range Rover. Their latest project is the Range Rover Classic, which undergoes a complete nut-and-bolt rebuild. The conversion includes replacing the original V8 engine with an electric motor, updating suspension, brakes, and steering, and adding insulation for a quiet cabin. The electric range is about 130 miles, suitable for city driving. Lunaz offers extensive personalization, including a 3D-printed center console and five-fluted seat trim. Clients can choose materials, colors, and even incorporate sentimental items like wood from a family farm. The company's CMF consultant, Hayley Hunter, emphasizes tailoring interiors to clients' lifestyles and locations, such as using lighter colors for Florida. The process is a custom commission, with Lunaz sourcing the car and rebuilding it with period-respectful design and modern amenities like USB ports and reversing cameras. The price is high, targeting wealthy collectors with multi-car garages.
