Don't tell me it is electric!

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: Wha...

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

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

Correct.

Don’t forget the beautiful

If you have a picture...

Here you go

Don't tell me it is electric!

Hi Nico

I hope it is not a fake gear lever. ;)

The 914 was the first car I ever fell in love with...

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

The David Browne is pure delight!

it is one of the most gorgeous retromod

Yes, it is a big car, this is its only flaw. For the rest, it is sublime. I would love to see it in real life.

I would have preferred to see it based on a Aston V8.

I totally agree. My favorite, with the Singer.

It's too easy to please with old triumphs.

Eddie was very corporate... And if I am not wrong, he played someone else's music... ;) But I see your point. We have the same phenomenon with watches... And the same issues, with spare parts for vintage cars.

I'm all in with that Singer! The GTV visually is a nice reinterpetation of a classic... but I'd miss its signature sound. Surely its faster but an important aspect of its character is lost ;-)

totally agree. nothing compares to the Alfa Sound

I still remember my Alfa GT 3.2 with a lot of emotion.

The Singer is brilliant, indeed. As for the alfa, I am with you. Totally with you.

I dated a girl in high school who had a 914.

Very good indeed:))

LOL.

All very good in my view. I would take any of them. The David Browne just pips the Singer for me

Agreed. The one which impresses me the most.

To me all the BEV, no matter if they are young/old/hommage, are soulless vehicles.

No, I don't have an interior shot. I do get your point. A smaller chassis would have been perfect. The one of the F Type for example.

Yes, that would have been better

Less massive, more fluid. Even if as it is, it is a big coup de coeur for me, yet.

Indeed it is and it’s been ages since I’ve heard/read the expression coup de coeur 😉. I love it too.

It is so cool in French.

Speedback Interior!

Cossu and sublime. Thanks for adding these pictures.

Love that picnic seats in the trunk.

Indeed! That's a very nice detail.

All fantastic looking cars and def something i would to see in person and on the road .

Yes, my friend. Even if some of them are ( and it will more and more be the case ) electric.

Great post Nico!

I didn't include the Cyan Volvo P1800 and the Alpine. I stay stuck to the latest. ;)

I like the idea of electrified classics

Hmmm, that would be gorgeous! Thanks for playing, mon ami.

I wonder about the viability of restored / upgraded / reinvented gasoline power vehicles

One word comes to my mind: Awkward.
