Frontline Cars wants to satisfy your predilection for power, whether that means a big V8 or a newfangled electric powertrain in the MGB
Bee is more of a cruiser. Its electric powertrain offers drivers 114 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, which means a 0-62 mph sprint of 8.8 seconds. While slower than the V8-powered LE60 model, it’s still faster than the car could originally manage.is its motor, which is said to offer torque a bit like an internal combustion engine. That means that it, too, has a five-speed manual transmission that drivers can really use.
Energy is stored in a 40 kWh battery that provides a range of up to 140 miles , Frontline Cars claims. It adds that the car can be recharged in five hours, using a domestic 7 kW charger. Whether you opt for the electric option or the V8 variant, the MGB will be thoroughly restored, with Frontline Cars perfecting its body work and refining the interior with leather and other high-quality materials.
Deliveries of the Bee and the LE60 are set to begin in 2024, though the company plans to make just 30 examples of the V8-powered hot rod. It will also offers restoration services for people who already own an MGB.
