Commission a Jaunt

The Land Rover Series

400 volts. 250 kilometres. Itself, finally.

A 1958–1985 Land Rover, re-engineered around a modern electric drivetrain. ADR-compliant, registered everywhere.

We don't convert cars. We re-engineer them.

A Jaunt Series, parked beside a paddock at dusk
250km Real-world range

A weekend's worth of driving on one charge. Country club, beach, paddock and back.

~30min 20–80% on DC fast

Charging becomes part of the drive, not its logistics. Coffee, lunch, back on the road.

3across Flat floor, no hump

No transmission tunnel. Three adults across the front, with proper legroom.

0drilled Original chassis untouched

Bolts to factory mount points. No welding. No cuts. The car you know, more capable.

What stays

  • The aluminium body
  • The chassis
  • The dashboard, the gauges, the toggles
  • The driving position
  • Everything that makes a Series feel like one

Re-geared electric drive units
01 · Drivetrain

AWD. No transfer case.

Centrally mounted drive unit. 4.5:1 reduction. Torque-biasing diffs that go straight on the highway and grip off-road.

210 kWpeak power
Disc brake assembly with electric booster
02 · Brakes

Stops better than it ever did.

Four-wheel discs. Electric booster. Calibrated to regen so the pedal stays predictable.

~8.0s0–100 km/h
Electric power steering installation
03 · Steering

Calibrated to feel like nothing.

Motor-driven assist. Weighted at parking speeds. Vanishes at the highway.

100 km/hlet go of the wheel
Restored Series dashboard
04 · Cabin

Original switchgear. Modern climate.

The dash you remember. Aircon that runs in 40-degree summers. Demist that defrosts.

NFCimmobiliser · deep-sleep 12V
CCS2 charge port integrated into rear panel
05 · Charging

Plugs in anywhere.

CCS2, the same plug as everyone else. Flat to 80% in about half an hour.

100 kWDC fast charging peak

06 · Thermal

Designed for Australian summers.

Custom-designed dual radiators built in Queensland. Cooling that holds at 40°C ambient with DC fast charge running.

40°Cand DC fast charging. Solved.

Engineering

Drawn first. Built second.

Three thousand decisions, made on paper before a single bracket gets cut.

I can't believe the quietness. The suspension. Bro, what the hell. This thing is insane.
