Sometimes the old really can be made new.
Lunaz just unveiled a new battery-powered restomod based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom V. The saloon’s internal-combustion engine may have been swapped out for an all-electric powertrain, but thanks to the shop’s attention to detail, the vehicle remains as opulent as ever.
The stunning EV was commissioned by a long-time Lunaz customer and Rolls-Royce collector to celebrate the Phantom’s centenary, according to a press release. They wanted a four-door that captures the majesty of the original but, thanks to a slew of technical upgrades, including over 11,000 re-engineered components, is close to future proof.

“There’s never been a Rolls-Royce Phantom V like this, created to mark a century, it has been remastered to outlast the next," Lunaz founder David Lorenz said.
With its elegant stance and swooping lines, the electromod looks just like any other Phantom of its era. It’s finished in unique deep blue that has a subtle metallic sheen when viewed in the right light. That rich hue is further accentuated by polished chrome trim.

Inside, the rejuvenated Phantom V is just as decadent as you’d expect a classic Rolls-Royce to be. Everything that’s not polished wood veneer is covered in a creamy white leather. The Phantom V has always been a roomy car, but Lunaz’s electromod has room for seven adults—two up front and five in the back, thanks to a well-utilized jump seat. The cabin also comes stocked with all the luxury feature you expect in 2025—along with some you don’t—like “whisper-quiet" climate control, heated seats, USB charging ports, a privacy screen, and, perhaps most impressive of all, a hand-crafted whiskey bar.
Details about the all-electric powertrain, including the power and range, are scarce, but we do know it’s connected to an 80 kWh battery pack. Lunaz calls production a “monumental undertaking" that took over 5,500 hours and required the re-engineering of over 11,000 components.
This particular Rolls-Royce electromod is already spoken for, but you can commission one just like it from Lunaz. The U.K.-based operation hasn’t say how much the electric Phantom V cost, but Top Gear puts its value at over £1 million, which works out to around $1.36 million by today’s exchange rate. Sounds like a worthy price tag for the seven-seat splendor.
