Renault 5 Classic Comes to Life as an Electric Car with Digital Dashboard and Retro Look (Facebook – Incari GmbH)
A team of specialists transformed a Renault 5 GTL from the 1970s into an electric vehicle, blending retro charm with modern technology.
The highlight of the project was the replacement of the original analog speedometer with a customizable digital dashboard, developed by Incari, which allows drivers to switch between a classic look and a digital interface.
The team, composed of various industry experts such as Incari and L2Concept, also worked to preserve the car’s vintage design, ensuring that the modernization did not compromise its identity.
The conversion process involved replacing the internal combustion engine with an electric motor, refurbishing the suspension and braking systems to improve performance, and modernizing the interior with sports seats and a new paint job. Incari’s HMI platform was essential in creating an innovative driving experience, with displays offering modern information for drivers—something unimaginable for engineers in the 1970s.
This project reflects the growing trend of “restomods,” where classic cars are restored and adapted with contemporary technology.
