Ive fallen foul to clichedcargasmsand written about my love for classic car restorations that feature modern all-electric drivetrains before.
All this makes it a perfectly usable modern classic.
Most conventional restorations become showpieces that never get used due to their difficult upkeep.
This Lunaz, though, could be used every day if you wanted.
The level of respect thats been paid to the original is staggering.
That said, there are a few modern additions that make the car more usable in todays world.
These things dont come cheap, but they will be incredibly exclusive.
Lunaz is only going to make 30 of them.
Oh, andlike the electrified Jaguar XK120, these things are not cheap.
Builds for the Phantom start, yes start, at 500,000.
Its very much a boutique item.
Exclusivity always comes with a price.
Rolls-Royces were never about accelerating at light speed, or handling as sharp as a race car.
They are about comfort, luxury, and considered acceleration.
Power should come in a reassuring swell, and not imitate being hit in the back with a sledgehammer.
