Born in 1965, the DB6 was one of asston Martin's classic models, while the DB6 Mkll Volante had only 29 cars and was the car of Crown Prince Charles of the British royal family at the time. Previously, Aston Martin decided to revive this classic model to create an electric version of the Aston Martin DB6 Mkll Volante that can be freely replaced by the owner in the fuel and electric power system.
According to overseas media reports, the British classic car electrification company will launch a pure electric vehicle model DB6 EV based on the Aston Martin DB6, with a starting price of no less than $1 million, and plans to officially launch in 2023.
Lunaz, a modification factory specializing in oil to electricity for British classic cars, has been successfully oil to power for the Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur EV, Rolls-Royce Phantom V, Jaguar XK120 and the first generation of Range Rover, it can be said that they have mastered the oil to electricity technology of classic classic cars.
In terms of appearance, Lunaz did not change it too much, following the design of the previous model, with an extra-long predecessor and a short rear tail, with a strong classic car atmosphere.
The original in-line six-cylinder engine was replaced with a new powertrain. The car is equipped with a set of batteries with a capacity of 80kWh to 120kWh and an estimated range of 255 miles. The original powertrain of the Aston Martin DB6 will also be retained.
In terms of power, the parameters of the drive motor are not specifically informed, and the company says that its performance is as close as possible to the acceleration ability of the original state, and it will also have good smoothness.
In addition, Lunaz has adapted and optimised the braking system, suspension and steering system to better match the new all-electric system. In terms of configuration, more modern navigation and related entertainment systems have been added. Of course, if there is a custom demand, you can also add money to select some environmentally friendly materials to cover the interior.
Lunaz has accepted an order for the electric DB6 and is expected to begin deliveries in the third quarter of 2023. The company also said that for the two older models, the number of original models available to it is already very limited, after all, it is old and not much stock.
The rise of oil to electricity
In fact, at present, it is not only Luaz, a modification factory, that is doing a project similar to this classic classic car oil to electricity, such as the volkswagen T1 oil to electricity case operated by the German eClassic modification factory; it is closer to our domestic consumers, and there is a loose SS DOLPHIN jointly developed by Beijing Loose Locomotive and AM Company of the United States and produced by BYD.
Under the impetus of environmental protection policies, there are not a few models that have stopped production due to emission problems, and the way of oil to electricity has given them a chance to do it again. This means that in the near future, there will be many classic models that have been discontinued or will be discontinued, and they will return to the public vision in the form of pure electric. This is a very good opportunity for both fans and manufacturers!
The reason why the classic car can become a classic is nothing more than that it can have a timeless design, and secondly, it can truly reflect the real needs of the current people. Classic classic cars are placed in the present, it is like a microcosm of the times, so that many people of the older generation can recall the beautiful youth of the past, and for the new generation of young people, it is the exploration and tribute to the past unknown, feeling the changes of the times.
