Electric vintage cars
Vintage cars are cool, charming, beautiful cars and should be preserved. Unfortunately, they are often old-fashioned, therefore polluting and banned from many European city centers. That is why you increasingly see the conversion of vintage cars to electric. And no, that is not authentic, but it drives wonderfully, quietly and cleanly. So where can you have such a conversion carried out? Schilder Electric in Limmen (NH) delivers professional work. But for the royal treatment you can go to Jaguar Land Rover Classics in the UK. You have to get one yourself Jaguar of Land Rover bring over. And if we have to choose, choose the Jaguar E-type. Called by Enzo Ferrari the most beautiful car ever. The E-type is then restored by Jaguar and converted with their best electric powertrain. The result is called Jaguar E-Type Zero, and was generously good enough for Harry and Meghan to get married. The Zero may go into production, but for now prices are upon request.
Vegan Evoque
Leather, the material par excellence for a luxurious car interior. But at Range Rover they think about this more sustainably and differently, as evidenced by an extensive line of leather-free and completely vegan materials that it has developed for, among others, the luxurious and compact Evoque. The premium wool blend in the SUV was created by Danish textile specialist Kvadrat and is a unique upholstery fabric consisting of 30 percent wool and 70 percent polyester, made from 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Eucalyptus Melange can also be selected during the configuration of an Evoque: a fabric created by combining 30 percent strong and at the same time elastic plant fibers with 70 percent polyester. For the time being, the colors Cloud and Ebony, dark brown and gray are available for the Range Rover New Evoque 'Vegan'.
Shelby Cobra replica
Kirkham Motorsports in Utah builds replicas of classic cars, especially Shelby Cobras. These replicas are now so good that Shelby purchases the sheet metal from Kirkham for its own restoration projects. The nice thing about such a replica is that you can actually have it completely custom made. Suppose you want a Kirkham 289 Coupe, but with wheels designed for you, wider fenders, a custom interior, a big block or an electric drivetrain. Kirkham can make it, it can even recreate a priceless classic just for you, or build a new design. As David Kirkham himself says: “We can make anything, and we already have.” Prices start at around $100.000, but you can go as crazy as you want.
Bmw iX
BMW is launching the revolutionary iX this year, which we have come to know as the BMW iNEXT concept car. A car ahead of its time. The features of the iX: electric, particularly safe and very independent. All current BMWs can brake independently if the situation requires it, as well as accelerate and adjust and sometimes even park automatically. The iX sets new standards when it comes to autonomous driving. The so-called level 3 autonomous driving applies to the car that has the size of the BMW X5. This means that as a driver on highways you can completely take your hands off the steering wheel. The iX5/iNEXT has a driving range of 600 kilometers on a full battery and can use a maximum of 200 kW on a fast charger.
