Aston Martin has made some truly iconic cars over its history. From James Bond's DB5 to the more modern Vantage line, and even the Formula 1-esque roadcar known as the Valkyrie, the British sports car brand has given us some remarkable offerings. But, Aston Martin is not at the forefront of the electric vehicle space, and is falling behind other automotive titans in this space.
Fortunately, the EV experts over at Lunaz are able to give AM a hand in this area, and have started this process by fully converting the beautiful DB6 into an all-electric car. According to the company's website, we're told that the process of turning the car into an EV includes an "exhaustive bare-metal restoration and re-engineering process to ensure the car represents a perfect example of an electrified classic."
To add to this, the car will be meticulously weighed and rebuilt to ensure that its balance and proportions are accurate across its entire body, with the car even getting an entirely renewed interior. Lunaz is even committed to making the entire EV process limited in waste and environmental impact.
"The Aston Martin DB6 delivered on the promise of truly indulgent continental touring. This is a legacy we could not resist furthering by creating the most alluring electric car in the world," said Jen Holloway, design director at Lunaz.
There has not been any mention as to when we'll first see an EV version of the DB6 on the roads, but Lunaz has noted that the majority of people interested in an EV version of the car come from Miami in the US, with around 30% of orders being from this area.
