Re Editions, Re interpretations, Re visitations... Some interesting examples.

We recently discussed the re interpretation of the Volvo P 1800 by Cyan or the modern alpine A 110. But it seems that is a new trend.
Here are some examples which are with some discussions and thoughts.
The 911 DLS by Singer is one of the most famous:
What about the 914 by Fifteen Eleven? It is an electric one, at the contrary of the Singer.
My heart clearly goes for the Singer, here, and not only because it is not an electric one...
Now let's see the Alfa Giulia GT... Nice, but electric...
And the Spider? Electric, alas... By Garage Italia.
Close to the original, the BMW M3 E30. With a bigger engine ( 2, 5 L instead of 2, 3) and the addition of a turbo, this car has much more power, with 390 HP.
And last but not least, the David Browne by Speedback. An interpretation based on a Jaguar XK. The Purist may not appreciate, I find it superb, even if it lost the purity of the original, but it is, at least for me, eye catching.
On another note, what about this VW Minibus electric?
What do you think? A good idea or a sacrilege?
Best,
Nicolas

It has some parallel with the watch world or re-edition vs hommage.

The 914 was the first car I ever fell in love with... ...I even built a plastic model of it as a kid : )

That was a good one, indeed, with a very rare 6 Cylinders version.

Alpine A 110. Some thoughts.
amanico
The Alpine Renault A 110 is one of these cars which are part of the Automotive Legends, and not only for the French People. Born in 1962, and produced for 16 years, this sportscar à la française attended some famous Rallyes, such as the Monte Carlo, and was a winner. It was made in a bit more than 7000 pieces. The recipe was simple: An ordinary motor, from Renault, and a light body, a bit like what Lotus did.
