The Inverted Electric Range Rover Classic has been converted and now boasts an impressive 450bhp output and can travel up to 200 miles on a single charge.

 Inverted, a UK-based company, has taken the wraps off its inaugural offering: a fully electric version of the Range Rover.




Transforming a vintage car into an electric vehicle may not be an obvious choice, especially when it comes to the boxy, original Range Rover Classic. However, Inverted, a company specializing in "EV regeneration," has taken on the challenge and unveiled its electric version of this British icon.

In addition to the electric powertrain, the Range Rover Classic has received several upgrades, and interested customers can place their orders now. However, they should act quickly as only six units will be produced annually. While some traditional Range Rover fans may not appreciate the removal of the original mechanicals, they will surely appreciate that the exterior remains unchanged and has been restored to its former glory, according to Inverted.

The interior, on the other hand, has received modern updates, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity on a new screen positioned at the bottom of the dashboard to avoid distracting from the car's original features. Other new features include extra soundproofing, air conditioning, central locking, a reversing camera, upgraded sound system, heated seats, and USB charging ports. The leather upholstery, sourced from Muirhead in Scotland, has also been enhanced with contrasting tweed on the seat inserts to provide a classic Range Rover look.

Of course, the most significant change is the electric motor and Tesla-sourced 80kWh battery module, which delivers 450bhp and 600Nm of torque to all four wheels with a limited-slip differential. This extra power means the 0-62mph time is just five seconds, which is 270bhp faster than the original 3.9-litre V8 Range Rover. The Range Rover Classic's axles have been restored and uprated to handle the instant electric power, and Alcon front brakes have been added. With the optional road handling pack, the car comes with adjustable shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, and 25 per cent stiffer springs.

According to Inverted, the electric Range Rover Classic can travel up to 200 miles on a single charge, with a CCS charger allowing for 100kW recharging speeds, meaning a 20 to 80 per cent charge should take around 34 minutes. The car also comes with a 6.6kW onboard charger.

The electric Range Rover Classic is available in both two- and four-door models, with prices starting from £225,000.
