Electrified classic car firm Lunaz has announced that it will receive investment from former England football player David Beckham. It has announced that Beckham has acquired a 10 per cent stake in the firm and is now joined by investors such as the Rueben and Barclay families. By the year 2024, the Silverstone-based company aims to provide 500 highly skilled jobs by 2024.
Lunaz currently holds a wide portfolio of classic cars ranging from electrified versions of the original Bentley Continental, the Mk1 Range Rover and Rolls-Royce Phantom V. It plans to expand its production to make commercial vehicles on a mass global scale. The company aims to transform into a technology company able to supply other firms including major automakers and suppliers with proprietary electric-vehicle technology, similar to Croatia’s Rimac.
