Lunaz Design turned the Aston Martin DB6 into an electric car

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.

Safety cars for the 2023 Formula 1 season

The new season of Formula 1 will start soon, and the safety cars will be Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG. The contract was signed two years ago and the British manufacturer announced that it will use the Aston Martin Vantage and the recently introduced DBX707. Mercedes-AMG still hasn’t decided which cars it will use.

Aston Martin DBX707 is the most powerful SUV in the world that will replace last year’s DBX. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 707 hp (520 kW), making it the most powerful SUV in the world. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). The power of its powerful engine is transmitted to all wheels via a fast 9-speed automatic transmission with improved differential and limited traction.

Aston Martin F1 Vantage is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 528 hp (388 kW) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km / h). Both cars will wear a green livery similar to that of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

Mercedes has yet to reveal which cars it will field in Formula 1 this year. Last season, the AMG GT Black Series was used as a safety car, and the GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe as a medical car.

The new season starts on March 5 in Bahrain, and the last race will be held on November 26 in Abu Dhabi.

The new Formula 1 season is about to start, and Fernando Alonso is one of the drivers who changed teams this year. After two years as an Alpine driver, he recently signed a multi-year contract with Aston Martin. But, before the start of the season, he also took part in filming commercials for his new employer, driving his very own DBX707 to the limits on the track in pursuit of the perfect lap.

At the beginning of last year, Aston Martin unveiled its new SUV, the DBX707, whose production began in mid-2022. It was the beginning of a new era for the British car manufacturer, which marks a new level of SUV performance.

The car is a symbol of the brand’s ability to combine top luxury with high performance. In addition to positive reactions from customers and the media, Aston Martin also offered new employment opportunities to people from the local community.
