Hyundai 45 electric car concept unveiled

According to Hyundai, the 45 “re-imagines the in-car experience in the age of electrification and autonomous technologies”.

Access to the cabin is via four sliding doors. Inside, wood, leather and carpeting combine to create a relaxing lounge ambience. As befits a vehicle with self-driving possibilities, the front seats can be rotated to face passengers in the rear.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
