This electrified Aston Martin DB6 is packed with recycled materials

Lunaz Aston Martin DB6.

Electric car interiors packed with recycled materials instead of animal hides are all the craze – and that doesn’t just include new EVs, as this beautiful Aston Martin DB6 from the mid-1960s shows.

This is the latest creation by Lunaz, a British company that restores and electrifies classic cars, removing the engine and replacing it with batteries and motors. Some might call it sacrilege, but Lunaz already has plenty of customers who are ready to disagree. In the case of the DB6, the car’s three-litre, 282 bhp engine is swapped for an electric motor that produces 375 bhp. Lunaz has previously said the car can be fitted with batteries ranging in capacity from 80 kWh to 120 kWh, giving a range of up to 255 miles.
