In 1965, Aston Martin unveiled a grand tourer, the Aston Martin DB6, which featured improved aerodynamics and specifications over its predecessor, the Aston Martin DB5. It was produced until 1971, and 1,788 cars left the production lines. One of them recently became electric, thanks to the company that restores and modifies historic cars, Lunaz Design.
The standard Aston Martin DB6 is powered by a 4.0L 6-cylinder engine with 282 hp (207 kW). However, Lunaz installed an electric motor and battery, so now the DB6 has 375 hp (276 kW) and 518 lb-ft (702 Nm) of torque. Other specifications have not been revealed. Lunaz is known for installing batteries with a capacity of between 80 and 120 kWh, which enables a range of between 290 and 402 kilometers.
The owner of this beautiful car is a businessman from Miami. Lunaz has completely disassembled and restored the DB6, and then assembled it to the highest standards. The car is finished in dark gray and is equipped with better brakes, improved suspension and steering system.
Inside, the seats are trimmed in dark green leather made from cactus, while the floor mats are made from recycled material. A new infotainment system, air conditioning and satellite navigation, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, are installed.
