From renderings to reality: Vinile presents the first running example of its vision. The official debut will take place at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025.
This is not a design exercise, nor a project left on paper. Just a few months after its semi-definitive presentation during the 2025 Milan Design Week, Vinile takes the leap from dream to metal, unveiling its first reinterpreted Range Rover Classic: a real, roadworthy vehicle, completed in its Maranello atelier.
The first model in a limited series of fifteen marks the beginning of a new way of conceiving high-end restomods. Above all, it tells the story of a brand that is not born to restore the past, but to remaster it with attitude, vision and craftsmanship.
A BRAND, A VISION
The choice of the Monaco Yacht Show is no coincidence: Vinile is not just automotive, but a concept that extends to yachting, aerospace, interior design and, why not, music. A multidisciplinary universe initially inspired by the world of music and the remastering of old vinyl records, bringing back icons of the past transformed into objects of the future, always with full respect for their heritage.
THE TEAM
At the helm of the project are three entrepreneurs with thirty years of cross-sector experience in automotive, motorsport, aerospace and finance, supported by an in-house team of one hundred professionals including engineers, designers, mechanics, electronics specialists, test drivers and technicians.
Five production hubs in Maranello and over ten thousand square metres of operational space make Vinile an independent, solid, vertically integrated reality capable of handling every phase of the process internally: from concept to design, from prototyping to final assembly.
THE RANGE ROVER CLASSIC “REMASTERED” BY VINILE
The road debut of the Range Rover Classic by Vinile is much more than a statement of intent. It is proof that the brand’s vision has taken shape and substance, delivering a vehicle that blends respect for the original with expressive boldness and technical refinement.
The first example features a metallic green bodywork paired with a gloss black roof. The proportions remain faithful to the icon launched in 1970, yet every surface has been reimagined and reworked to express formal purity, visual coherence and solidity.
Body panels have been hand-hammered to reduce gaps and seams; bumpers have been slimmed and flush-cut; bonnet and doors have been smoothed and perfectly aligned. The front grilles are three-dimensional, LED headlights retain the original design, while round fog lights, redesigned mirrors and a thin gloss black strip with yellow accents introduce the brand’s new identity.
At the rear, the blend of technology and style is embodied in a new diffuser, LED tail lights, mudflaps, spoiler and an elegant white poplar burl insert visually connecting the exterior with the interior.
INTERIOR: A LUXURIOUS SENSORY JOURNEY
The cabin is the narrative heart of the car. Everything is designed to create an unprecedented sensory experience made of materials, atmosphere, and details. The seats, dashboard, steering wheel, door panels, and wheel arches are fully upholstered in Baxter leather, a synonym of Italian excellence worldwide.
The build uses forty-five square metres of leather in Bo.Hemian Choco, Bo.Hemian Savana and Kashmir Menthe shades, paired with solid white poplar burl, sculpted from a single block and used for the door trims, centre tunnel and dashboard support. The result is an environment combining comfort, chromatic harmony and tactile refinement. Nothing is left to chance: the aim was not to recreate a classic interior, but to imagine a contemporary lounge on four wheels.
TECHNOLOGY: SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED
Technology is seamlessly integrated, never intrusive. The dashboard hosts a 10.1-inch HD capacitive touchscreen, derived from Sony components, managing navigation, audio and cameras, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. A knurled aluminium touch encoder on the centre tunnel controls on-board functions, including ambient lighting.
The overhead console, inspired by that of a business jet, houses aeronautical switches for a unique tactile feel. All four doors project, via puddle lights, the outline of the car’s front end onto the ground. One bold touch: the owner’s wristwatch can be mounted at the centre of the dashboard, becoming the car’s own clock.
The internally engineered audio system honours the brand’s name: an integrated DAB radio uses the roof-mounted fin antenna, while three Rockford amplifiers, a Mosconi processor, ten Focal speakers and two subwoofers deliver clear, powerful, faithful sound—further enhanced by Thender high-performance wiring.
ENGINE & MECHANICS: TRADITION, ENHANCED
The original V8—available in 3.5, 3.9 and 4.3-litre versions—has been fully overhauled and upgraded to deliver around 200 hp, up from the original 167. The suspension has been reworked for a neutral stance, eliminating the stock rear squat. Wheels retain the original 16-inch diameter but feature deeper, more concave rims, with wider tyres improving stability, grip and road presence.
The first five-door example is just the beginning. The second three-door Range Rover Classic by Vinile is already in production, while three more vehicles (LWB) are ready to enter the line, out of the planned fifteen. Each one will be different from the others and fully customisable according to the client’s requests. The base price starts at €310,000.
Meanwhile, the Vinile Style Centre is already working on new projects involving other vintage vehicles to reinterpret, as well as original proposals in yachting, aerospace, product design and music production. Vinile is not simply a brand—it is a cultural platform, a language code, a new form of luxury born from respect for what has been, to create what will be.
