The overall restomod design was proposed by Alan Derosier, a renowned French automotive designer known for his innovative and creative approach to car design, including the iconic Legende Automobiles Turbo 3.
The challenge? – Integrating cutting-edge technology into a vintage car without losing its classic charm.
Thanks to Incari Studio, our all-in-one HMI development platform, we were able to replace the original analog speedometer with a fully digital interface. Additionally, with our custom-developed Incari RetroBox, we enabled seamless connectivity for all types of inputs, whether vintage or modern.
This innovation ensures the driver always has relevant, real-time data at their fingertips, enhancing the driving experience without compromising on the look and feel of the original vehicle.
Celso Albuquerque, our Managing Director of Incari Labs, shared: “Our platform allowed us to “Restomod” the Renault 5 in a sensitive manner, keeping the spirit of the original design while incorporating displays the engineers of the 1970s could never have imagined.”
This project highlights how modern HMI technology can seamlessly blend with classic automotive design. A truly exciting example of how innovation and tradition can come together to create something exceptional.
