bringing the cars of the past into the present with modern technology,
The result - Spirit, a fully patented, homologated, and safe electric integrated system.
In 2016, Peter Swain came up with the idea of developing an electric vehicle platform for classic cars. He wanted to bring the cars of the past into the present with modern technology, while staying true to the look and feel that make them so widely loved.
Peter worked with major Tier One suppliers for six years on research and development. The result was Spirit. It is a fully patented, homologated, and safe electric integrated system.
Through the RBW brand, Peter has brought new electric classic cars to the road and sold them globally. They receive incredible reviews for “driving feel and fun” – things that can be lost in modern EVs. Spirit is the system that captures the true sports car driving experience
The Spirit engineering tech team was built with two words at the forefront: safety and agility. Agile on delivery, the team has the “can do” mentality of race car engineering. The approach to safety is captured by Eleanor Everet: “For safety is not a gadget but a state of mind.”
Our automotive team will fast-track your projects from harness design to battery design, motor to driving dynamics, proprietary software to safety case and test. The team’s motivation and experience is unrivalled in the classic and sports EV space.
