This 1961 Bentley S2 Continental originally came with a 6.2 L L-series V8 and four-speed automatic transmission. Lunaz Design<\/a> swapped the factory powertrain for an electric powertrain at their company in Silverston, UK. The car now features an electric motor making 405 hp and 530 lb-ft of torque and a custom battery pack filled with Tier 1 OEM cells. The classic reaches 0-100 km\/h (0-62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. Lunaz Design upgraded the suspension with adjustable coilovers and braking with six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes. <\/p>\n
