    The process includes ground-up restoration and the incorporation of a proprietary electric powertrain and full suite of hardware and software upgrades. Production allocation for the first batch of electric Rolls-Royce cars will be strictly limited to 30. Image Credit: Supplied

    Lunaz points out that only the best available materials have been used in these cars, in keeping with the stature of the brand and models. For example, rear floormats have been custom made in alpaca wool, a material that is said to be rarer than cashmere, softer than lambswool and is considered highly sustainable. Image Credit: Supplied

    Orders are already being taken from Lunaz’s existing client base and certain “influential” institutions in the world. Following demand for electrified Phantoms, Lunaz is also going to build Rolls-Royce Silver Clouds with an electric powertrain. Image Credit: Supplied

    These electric Rolls-Royces will be available in every global market. Allocation can only be secured through direct relationship with the factory. Prices for a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud by Lunaz starts at £350,000, while the Rolls-Royce Phantom by Lunaz starts at £500,000 (both not including local taxes). Image Credit: Supplied
