The last thing you want to hear after spending this kind of money is "What is that?"…Pass on all of these vanity projects.
They were different and interesting!
the Ares concept of modernized retro vehicles of the past ain't working . . . the modified design of the original are too outrageous & EV credentials just don't blend with the customer . . . retro classics should never ever be EV . . . or else what's a classic . . . a retro classic means resurrecting one to it's original specifications . . . do you find any original here??? for e.g. the Hurtan Grand Albaycin . . . in all fairness what on earth is this thing??? even MAZDA probably thinkin . . . something on wheels, who built it??? if they knew it's based on a MAZDA MX-5 . . .
