Headline: Start Of Production Announced For World's First Electric Classic Rolls-Royce Cars

Caption: PICTURED: Electric Rolls-Royce Phantom V ... STORY COPY: The world's first electric classic Rolls-Royce cars have been unveiled. Lunaz, the leading creator of electric classic cars based in Silverstone, England, announced this month (August) the start of production of the vehicles. The Rolls-Royce marque joins existing electrified classic cars from Jaguar and Bentley in the Lunaz portfolio. David Lorenz, Founder, Lunaz, says: “The time is right for an electric Rolls-Royce. We are answering the need to marry beautiful classic design with the usability, reliability and sustainability of an electric powertrain. More than ever we are meeting demand for clean-air expressions of the most beautiful and luxurious cars in history. We are proud to make a classic Rolls-Royce relevant to a new generation.” Prices for a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud by Lunaz starts at £350,000 (not including local taxes). Pricing for a Rolls-Royce Phantom by Lunaz starts at £500,000 (not including local taxes). A 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V has now completed the Lunaz reengineering process. This includes ground-up restoration and the incorporation of Lunaz’s proprietary electric powertrain and full suite of hardware and software upgrades. Production allocation for the first tranche of Rolls-Royce cars by Lunaz will be strictly limited to 30. Orders are already being taken from Lunaz’s existing client base and some of the most celebrated and influential institutions in the world. Following demand for electrified Phantoms, Lunaz elected to begin creating Rolls-Royce Silver Clouds. From this month (August), clients are invited to secure allocation for these cars in a range of body styles, including four-door limousine, two-door coupé and drop head coupé. The start of production of the world’s first electric Rolls-Royce cars follows a surge in demand for the electrification of pinnacle classic cars. This is driven by a rebalancing of car collections for a clean air future. To meet this demand, Lunaz is doubling its workforce at its Technical HQ in Silverstone, England. Electric Rolls-Royces by Lunaz will be available in every global market. Allocation can only be secured through direct relationship with the factory. David Lorenz, Founder, Lunaz, says: “No car in the world matches a Phantom for presence, style and significance. Through electrification we proudly further the legacy of the ‘best car in the world’, making Rolls-Royce ownership a relevant choice for a new generation.”
