Many companies are involved in converting old cars to electric, and classic British car specialist Lunaz has unveiled its new electric project, the 1961 Bentley S2 Continental. This is the last work done by this company, based on a model that was produced between 1952 and 1962.

When the car was first introduced in 1952, it was offered with a James Young body. Back then, it was possible to buy a chassis from a car manufacturer and then transport it to a body manufacturer. In this case, James Young produced new larger fenders and a two-door cab. Fully adjustable suspension with coil springs is installed, and the settings can be configured by the driver from the cab. It is equipped with disc brakes with six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear.

Inside, additional sustainable materials such as upholstery made of regenerated fibers and leather, and it is decorated with certified wood veneers.

Under the hood was a 6.2-liter V8 engine that was removed in favor of an electric motor with 400 hp (294 kW) and 530 lb-ft (719 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.9 seconds. The engine is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
