Specifications

View of interior

The R17 Electric Restomod is based on the original self-supporting body of a Renault 17, and retains its general line but modernizes it. The round headlights are replaced by rectangular projectors, the wings are widened by 17 cm and the wheel arches are redesigned. The body of the coupe is painted in a "Galactic Brown" color.[5]

The 1.6-liter four-cylinder thermal engine was replaced by a 270 hp electric motor positioned on the rear axle.[6]
