Frontline's MGB restomods are light and nimble in a way few cars except the Mazda MX-5 and anything from Caterham manage today.
, Frontline is a re-invention specialist for the MGB and other British sports cars. The company was founded in 1991 by engineer Tim Fenna, and one of its latest creations takes it into the world of electric vehicles., and like the original it can be ordered as a coupe or roadster. Impressively, Frontline has even designed its electric powertrain to work with a manual transmission.
For buyers still with gasoline in their veins, Frontline also has the LE60 which somehow features a V-8 nestled under its low, narrow nose.The BEE features an electric motor mounted at the rear axle and is powered by a 40-kwh battery under the hood, helping it to deliver similar weight distribution to the original gas-powered car. The quoted weight is 2,614 pounds and the weight distribution a near 50:50 split front to rear.
The company hasn't said how powerful the BEE's motor is but said owners can expect 0-60 mph acceleration in around 8.8 seconds and a range approaching 140 miles. The car's manual transmission is said to function just like a traditional manual, except that the car can be started and stopped in any gear without stalling.The V-8-powered LE60 is a more extreme proposition. The engine is a Rover 4.8-liter V-8, rated here at 375 hp, or almost triple what the original MGBs had.
