Lunaz Unveils a Vivid Green Range Rover Classic Called ‘Kermit’
Interest in Lunaz’s restomod is so high that the company is expanding its operation to meet demand.
The U.K.-based shop just announced that it has sold out of all the U.S. build slots for the founding series of its rejuvenated Range Rover Classics. The battery-powered off-roader has proven to be such a hit on this side of the Atlantic, that the Lunaz plans to increase production going forward.
Since its founding in 2018, Lunaz has been taking some of the cars most closely associated with its home country, like the original Range Rover and the Aston Martin DB5, and future-proofing them. The company’s artisans and craftspeople restore the exteriors and interiors that helped make these vehicle classics, while also updating them with modern-day powertrains (the company now offers modern V-8s as an option). Thanks to a surge of demand from the U.S.—Lunaz only entered the market earlier this year—the company will double shifts and the size of its workforce at its production facility in Silverstone, England.
Inside the Lunaz Range Rover Classic “Kermit”

To celebrate the Range Rover Classic founding series selling out, the company shared images of two new commissions that show off the breadth of its capabilities. The first is “Kermit,” which reinterprets the legendary 4×4 through a Pop Art lens. The four-door SUV is finished in vivid green. The color carries over to the vehicle’s spacious interior but is broken up by white and orange contrast stripes on the seats and orange safety harnesses.
The other is called “Nevada” and strikes a decidedly more understated note. It is painted in a bespoke dark green meant to blend in with the landscape of its namesake state. Its interior, meanwhile, is done up mainly in ivory leather, but also features heritage-inspired woven segments and hand-finished wood trim.
Lunaz may have sold out of its initial batch of Range Rover Classics, but more are on their way. The company has already started offering a preview of the next series to potential customers. They’ll be able to choose between different body styles (hard-top or convertible), wheelbases (two or four doors), and powertrains (EV or V-8, both of which make more than 350 hp). Pricing has yet to be announced, but Lunaz told us last year that most of its commissions regularly cost between $600,000 and $1 million.
