“The floating instrument cluster is perhaps the most striking reinterpretation: machined from a single billet of aluminum and wrapped around a modern digital display, it delivers clarity, beauty and a structural honesty impossible in 1975. The carbon-fiber dashboard “T” houses every essential control, putting function exactly where the driver expects it. Seats are restored, re-foamed and re-trimmed, maintaining their original ergonomics while elevating support and finish. Infotainment, climate and camera systems – designed in-house by Skyships – integrated discreetly, providing quiet convenience without disturbing the analogue intent,” said Encor.
“This car is analogue at heart,” says co-founder Simon Lane. “We wanted to avoid the modern tendency toward gadgetry, therefore the technology exists to enhance the experience, not to dominate it.”

Encor Design says it is a collaboration shaped by decades of experience at the highest levels of the industry. Its leadership has delivered the Lotus Emira, advanced programs for Koenigsegg, bespoke (customization ) personalization at Aston Martin, and engineering innovation through Skyships, the British company that evolved from conceptual airships in the 1990s to supplying cockpit electronics to global sports-car manufacturers.
