Electric Rolls-Royce production starts

About 30 electrified Rolls-Royce Phantoms and Silver Clouds will be produced by Lunaz, which restores and electrifies classic cars from its Silverstone base in England.

A 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V has completed the Lunaz reengineering process, which includes ground-up restoration and the incorporation of Lunaz’s proprietary electric powertrain and full suite of hardware and software upgrades.

Following demand for electrified Phantoms, Lunaz is also making electric Silver Clouds, clients invited to secure allocation for these cars in a range of body styles, including four-door limousine, two-door coupé and drop head coupé.

The start of production of the world’s first electric Rolls-Royce cars follows a surge in demand for the electrification of pinnacle classic cars.

This is driven by a rebalancing of car collections for a clean air future, says Lunaz which is doubling its workforce to meet demand.

“We are answering the need to marry beautiful classic design with the usability, reliability and sustainability of an electric powertrain,” Lunaz founder David Lorenz says.

The Rolls-Royce marque joins existing electrified classic cars from Jaguar and Bentley in the Lunaz portfolio.

Electric Rolls-Royces by Lunaz will be available in every global market.

Prices for a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud by Lunaz start at £350,000 (not including local taxes) and £500,000 for a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The Lunaz battery pack is 120kWh, ensuring more than 480km range.

Every car by Lunaz is taken back to the bare metal, 3D scanned, weighed and fully restored before the conversion and re-engineering process begins.

Two screens are integrated behind the privacy division’s picnic tables allowing rear occupants to watch films and mirror screens from mobile devices. A bar service in the unit’s centre has been custom built to fit the owner’s favourite beverage.

Every car can be home charged and use rapid charging.
