RBW EV Roadster is the latest in cool rechargable rides

RBW EV Roadster is the latest in cool rechargable rides

The new MG-inspired roadster is one of a growing number of retro electric cars offering classic driving thrills without the oil leaks.

 

The rapid growth of electric vehicles in Europe and China has allowed for new players to use EV platforms to produce vehicles in small numbers, including reimagined versions of the great classic cars.

The latest of these is the 1960s MGB-inspired RBW EV Roadster that uses a brand-new body shell that sits on a drivetrain system developed in conjunction with Continental.

The dashboard of the RBW Electric Classic Roadster

The patented system places the 70kW electric motor at the rear of the car and the lithium-ion battery technology under the bonnet, to give it similar weight distribution and handling characteristics as a classic roadster and a top speed of 130km/h.

It can be driven up to 260km between charges, and that range can be extended to 320km if you install a seventh battery cell.

OPINION: Converting a classic into an EV isn’t cheap

While the handcrafted bodywork and interior fittings are faithful to its classic heritage, the RBW EV Roadster, like many retro EVs, features modern conveniences including a multi-function digital dashboard display, Pioneer infotainment system with smartphone mirroring and satellite navigation, and high-quality audio to compensate for the lack of a throaty exhaust note.

 

RBW’s EV architecture can be installed under other bodyshells such as Austin Healey, Jaguar E-Type, Mini and many more, which can be built to the clients’ personal specification and requirements.

If you prefer an EV built from the ground up rather than a conversion, RBW also builds an E-Type on the same platform as the new EV Roadster.
