EV conversion specialist Lunaz Design has debuted an all-electric version of a 1961 Bentley S2 Continental – one of the rarest classic luxury cars on the planet. The company explains that only four examples of this particular car were built, and having the Bentley upcycled as an EV truly makes it one of a kind without compromising its classic design, both inside and out.
Lunaz's current lineup of electric conversions includes the Aston Martin DB6, Jaguar XK, and an all-electric Rolls-Royce Phantom. All these conversions, including the Bentley, begin with a full restoration from the ground up, reconfiguring each combustion vehicle’s chassis to support electrification while still maintaining ideal weight distribution and suspension.
Inside each converted EV, Lunaz’s in-house design team upcycles and restores the vehicle’s textiles and trim while integrating modern-day conveniences like satellite telecommunications, Wi-Fi, infotainment, and navigation.
Now, Lunaz Design is showcasing another EV conversion of a British classic with a truly one of a kind Bentley S2 Continental, converted for one very lucky customer. It's a one-off build for a specific customer who managed to acquire the two-door saloon. According to the company, only four units of this 1961 sedan were ever produced.
While this particular model will by no means be an EV conversion sold regularly by Lunaz, the custom Bentley S2 Continental shows further evidence that nearly any vehicle can successfully be reborn electric while maintaining its classic design - no matter how old it is.
