Hyundai Heritage Series Grandeur
Designers at Korean automaker Hyundai have built the Heritage Series Grandeur, a modernised, all-electric concept version of its 1980s saloon car.
It kept the first generation Grandeur's original boxy shape while adding features such as pixel-style LED headlights and taillights.
Inside, burgundy velvet seats and a single-spoke steering wheel are reminiscent of the car's original interiors, but the dashboard's buttons and dials were replaced with an ultra-wide touch screen display.
Jaguar E-Type Zero
Instead of basing a new electric car on one of its classics, Jaguar unveiled a fully electrified prototype of the E-Type convertible that entirely retains the original's aesthetic.
The E-Type, which was produced from 1961 to 1975, was described by Italian automotive legend Enzo Ferrari as "the most beautiful car in the world".
Its electric remake was engineered by Jaguar Land Rover's specialist Classic department to have a powertrain of a similar weight and size to a petrol engine, meaning that the car's design – including its breaks and suspension – did not have to be changed.
Ford F-100 Eluminator
In November 2021, Ford produced an electric version of its 1978 F-100 pickup truck to promote a new electric crate motor that can be installed as part of the process of electrifying combustion-engine vehicles.
The F-100 Eluminator concept uses two motors that are the same as those used in the GT performance edition of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E released to market in 2019, which itself departed in style from its predecessors.
