Jaguar E-type, Aston Martin DB6 Mk II and now also the Ford Mustang.
A cocktail of technological development and the uncertain future for fossil fuels has made it popular to revive the classic sports cars with electric motor and battery. The latest in a series of enterprises that will put a defibrillator to the ageing icons, the Russian startup Aviar Motors.
the Car, one will lead into the new century, the Fastback model of Ford Mustang. But unlike the Jaguar and Aston Martin it not the original car which is to be converted.
No, Aviar will build a completely new car, which reminds very much on a Ford Mustang Fastback from 1967, but is equipped with a large number of advanced technology, one usually will find in a modern car.
It is here important to point out that the Aviar Motors do not have built the car yet – not even as a prototype. The published material provides not many answers on how the Aviar is going to reach the goal of the ambitious project, and they proclaimed the specifications must therefore be taken with a proper grain of salt.
the Car, which is dubbed R67, according to the Aviar Motors be driven by two electric motors, which together provide 840 hp, and the car will supposedly clear the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. at 2.2 seconds.
It will then do the car to one of the world’s fastest cars from 0 to 100 km/h., in front of the prominent competitors such as the Bugatti Chiron, the McLaren P1 and, not least, the fastest stallion in the Tesla fold, the Model S P100D. It reaches 100 km/h. at 2.7 seconds.

As the media Autoblog points out, is Aviar R67 on the whole, a complex personality. In addition to the Fastback-body of the car and the Audi-the spoiler, the car is equipped with door handles, which, as with the Tesla pops out, when you need them.
the Entrepreneurs have generally been inspired a part of the american elbilproducent, which will become particularly apparent in the cabin.
Here you may be starting with a sketch of the Ford-designed from 1967, but after the car has been given a huge infotainmentskærm on the 17 inch in the center console and luftdyser, reminiscent of those you find in a new Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
electric Cars have the problem in common that other road users may have difficulty hearing the quieter engines. It has the Russian entrepreneurs, however, bypassed by installing a program in your car, which can simulate the original sound from a Ford Mustang GT500 both inside and out.
On the sikkerhedsfronten will Aviar R67 supposedly be equipped with seven airbags, rear view camera, cruise control and, not least, automatic emergency brake.
The many copied ideas and design makes the car fascinating, but may also be difficult to realize. Aviar is not completely clear in the saliva, when it comes to the start-up of production and price. Under the latter point, the entrepreneurs have on the easier cryptic manner settle with: ‘Depending on demand’
