Renault has slotted a more powerful electric motor into its little electric hatch, creating the new Zoe R110.
The new motor is the same size as the outgoing R90 unit, but produces 12kW more power, bumping its output to a lofty 80kW. Peak torque is still 225Nm, but the car now runs from 80 to 120km/h two seconds faster than before.
East Coast Defender is an American tuning house best known for shoehorning V8 engines into Land Rovers, but it appears the tuning house is looking to diversify. Along with its high-powered projects, it will produce a new Heritage Collection of cars.
It's no surprise to see East Coast pushing into the resto-modding world. Jaguar Land Rover now sells old Range Rovers and D Types as new, while Fiat Chrysler has pushed into the space of reworked classics lately as well.
Pricing for the LDV T60 cab-chassis has been announced, with the Chinese ute to retail from $25,253 drive-away – less, if you're an ABN holder.
