The first examples of a battery-powered Range Rover Classic will soon be entering production with British firm, Lunaz.
Created in response to customer demand, the Range Rover will join the existing array of electric classics offered by the company. Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Jaguar models have all previously received the Lunaz electric transformation treatment.
Importantly, as the original Range Rover celebrates its 50th anniversary, Lunaz has confirmed that the electrified classic will retain the option of four-wheel drive.
Quiet off-road revolution
Lunaz will offer buyers the choice of ‘Town’ or ‘Country’ specifications for their electric Range Rover. Rear-seat comfort will be a priority for Town versions, with the option of an extended wheelbase for those who wish to be chauffeured.
Country versions will come with an off-road capable four-wheel drive system, plus updated suspension and brakes. Both specifications undergo a complete bare metal restoration process, and can be had in two- or four-door body styles.
A wide range of interior and exterior finishes can be chosen. These include classic Range Rover upholstery, through to modern materials. Updated air conditioning and multimedia screens can be integrated into the traditional cabin architecture.
The company has not revealed the details of the electric drivetrain. However, it is said to feature the “highest specification modules available” on the automotive market.
‘A clean-air expression of the world’s definitive SUV’
Those in need of a truly custom Range Rover will even be able to request a full open-top ‘Safari’ model. Made famous by the James Bond film Octopussy, Lunaz will convert a regular Range Rover to a completely roofless version.
Other unique details can also be agreed with the company’s own design department.
The level of engineering that Lunaz will use to build each electric Range Rover means that the cost is considerable. Prices will begin at £245,000 excluding VAT, and will naturally increase if more bespoke options are added.
Lunaz is currently assigning the first 50 build slots to customers. It expects to commence delivery of completed vehicles in summer 2021.
