Lunaz Range Rover Classic 2027: EV and LS3 V8 versions, body styles and production
© Lunaz
Lunaz plans to build 25 Range Rover Classics in 2027, and buyers will no longer be limited to an electrified restomod. The classic SUV can be ordered with either the company's electric powertrain or a modern LS3 V8 — both producing more than 350 hp. Two-door and four-door bodies, a long-wheelbase version and a bespoke convertible are available.
The announced production run has changed along the way. Before its Goodwood debut, Lunaz described the next RRC Series as being limited to ten examples. On the current project page, however, the company presents the new series as limited to 25 commissions. That figure also matches its plan to build 25 Range Rover Classics during 2027.
The work goes far beyond an engine swap. The original 3.5-litre V8 is removed, while Lunaz retunes the suspension, steering and brakes around the new powertrain. The cabin can feature modern climate control, a 360-degree camera system, wireless charging, Starlink, refrigerators, heated seats and massage functions. Each vehicle is fully stripped and rebuilt in Silverstone.
Two recent customer cars show the scale of the personalisation. The bright-green Kermit was transformed from a black Range Rover Overfinch into a pop-art-inspired build, while Nevada received dark-green paint, pale leather, wood and fabrics chosen to match the atmosphere of its owner's ranch.
The approach fits a wider shift in the luxury segment toward highly personalised vehicles. Range Rover itself is expanding its Bespoke programme: the Range Rover SV Asilomar Edition created for a US customer sold for $550,000, and the company has said it sees no upper ceiling for future projects of this kind. The two products should not be confused, however. Lunaz is not restarting factory production of the old Range Rover and stresses that it is not affiliated with Land Rover; it restores and extensively modernises existing vehicles.
The contrast is especially clear next to the factory Range Rover Electric, which has been available to order since September 2026. The EV uses a 118.5 kWh usable battery, an 800-volt architecture and offers up to 600 km of WLTP range. Lunaz is pursuing a different idea: keeping the body and character of the classic Range Rover while allowing the owner to choose modern hardware without being forced into electric power.
Demand is growing particularly strongly in the United States. Lunaz has filled the production slots allocated to US customers and is now adding another shift at its Silverstone facility as well as around 40 new jobs over the next two years. The story of two striking commissions is therefore part of a larger change: Lunaz is turning the Range Rover Classic from a purely EV restomod into a platform where the customer chooses the type of powertrain.
