Many major electric car manufacturers are moving to a new level by reviving some of their most famous classic cars in their history. It appears that many followers have viewed this transformation positively, either because they couldn’t own these cars due to their rarity or because they want to keep up with the fast-paced advancements and modern technology in the automotive industry.
A few weeks ago, we reported on Renault's revival of one of its historical cars, redesigned to become a fully electric vehicle while retaining its classic style, named the R17 Electric.
While this news surprised many followers, it is likely to become commonplace in the near future as more major brands rush to revive their most famous and best-selling classic cars from the 1970s.
In this regard, many were surprised by the news of Hyundai's revival of the classic "Grandeur," which was the company’s first sedan, originally released in the 1980s.
Today, during Kia’s celebration of its 80th anniversary, the company revealed its electric version of the iconic Kia "Pride LX," which was originally released in the late 1980s.
This shift towards electric classic cars is still in its experimental phase, but it’s expected to gain popularity among classic car enthusiasts. If it proves successful, we may see more releases that combine classic charm with modern technology.
What do you think? Will these cars attract classic car enthusiasts in their new electric versions, or will they be an unsuccessful attempt by automakers to showcase their history?
