The original Land Rover Range Rover was launched in 1969 and initially, it was sold only in a two-door configuration. A first-gen Range Rover is the subject of a new restomod project by UK’s Inverted tuning firm and now that car makes its debut. The first road-legal example is fully assembled and ready to be delivered to its new owner, but not before it is shown virtually to the automotive society.
Powering the Range Rover Classic is a Tesla-sourced electric drive system, which includes a fully reconditioned low-mileage 80-kilowatt-hour battery pack and a drive unit. The vehicle has been fitted with a new gearset, a new oil pump, and a limited-slip differential and has a peak output of 450 horsepower (331 kilowatts) and 443 pound-feet (600 Newton-meters) of instant torque. Thanks to the Tesla powertrain, the SUV can cover the 0-60 miles per hour acceleration in around 5 seconds.
