Zastava with electric drive comes to a(u)ction

The trend of combining retro design with modern technology was a theme 20 years ago, but in past few years, all went a step further. Many companies around the world are combining classic style with wider more widespread electric drive today.

All those restomods, custom builds and retro-copies are attracting at least attention from new wave of buyers and collectors, who are not so keen on tradition of internal combustion engines. We are not talking only about small garages, but also carmakers – even Jaguar is building its own electric E-Type and there are few others. You can basically buy classic Porsche 911, Rolls-Royce Phantom or Lancia Delta Integrale, all of them with electric drive.

Interesting thing is, that some creations came from southeast Europe. Which name pop-up when talking about electricity first? For sure name of great inventor Nikola Tesla, but that is not our point. The name is still present, building its own electric vehicles in USA.

Area of former Yugoslavia is definitely interesting place for inventors. Another one made it to the world class during last decade. The guy, who started his business with green BMW E30 converted to electric drive and used it for drifting. The guy, who needed only ten years to create his own electric hypercar, shown even at Concours d´Eleganza at Villa d´Este. The guy, who was brought into Bugatti Automobiles company to develop a new state of art combining the Bugatti design with electric power. Yes, his name is Mate Rimac and we will hear about him a lot, no matter if electric will be choice of future or not. We recommend you to read more about this fascinating story of success.
