To celebrate the hundredth anniversary of its first car, Mitsubishi Motors has had a funny idea.

Instead of restoring a copy of the Model A according to its originality, Mitsubishi has instead requested what it would be like the vehicle if it had been built today, with the technologies that we now have access to it.

The japanese manufacturer has mandated the team california West Coast Customs to integrate the motorization and the technology of an Outlander PHEV brand new in a Model A.

We therefore had to incorporate a new mechanical under the hood of the Model A, but also a battery of 12 kWh, which allows him now to go a few miles without gasoline.

To do so, we had to widen and lengthen the body of the Model Has centenary to successfully integrate the current platform of the Outlander PHEV, a version plug-in hybrid, the Outlander that is expected to be in 2018 in Canada.

As a result, the proportions of this car christened Re-Model, Has no longer have much to do with those of the original model…

With wheels and modern tires on the side very bottom, West Coast Customs has also attempted to give a touch of modernism to the body of timeless Model A, the oldest production vehicle in the history of Japan.
