Retrofit or Restomod?

  • Restomod

    Restomod (Restoration + Modernization) often refers to the restoration of classic vehicles while upgrading them with modern components. The goal is to preserve the charm and design of the vintage car while enhancing performance, safety, and comfort with modern technology.

  • Retrofit

    Retrofit (Upgrading Existing Systems) refers to the technical upgrade of existing systems or machines – not just in cars, but also in industrial plants, buildings, and other technologies. The goal is to extend their lifespan and enhance efficiency with modern technology without replacing the entire system.
