Alpha Motor Corporation is taking pre-orders for a new car unlike any others it has revealed so far. Dubbed the Montage Coupe, it pays homage to the classic British sports cars of the 1950s and comes in a strictly limited series priced from US$ 499,000.

 

The Montage relies on just one electric motor rated at 204 PS, driving the rear wheels through a single-reduction gearbox. The battery capacity is not stated, but Alpha says it is a custom-made lithium-ion battery pack capable of 400 km of range or close to that.

 

Aside from only two seats, the cabin offers a retro dashboard featuring large analog gauges encased with chrome bezels. The center console houses large air vents also trimmed with chrome and a classic radio. Modern touches, such as a digital odometer and a high-end audio system, dilute the vintage atmosphere to a certain degree.
