Built in collaboration with Electrogenic, the Pride EV transforms the 1996 KIA Pride 1.3 LX into a fully electric vehicle, debuting at Bicester Heritage\u2019s \u201cScramble\u201d event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing the original 60hp petrol engine, the new electric motor delivers over 100 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque. The Pride EV maintains its classic design, including the five-speed manual transmission, while embracing modern touches like the White Pearl paint and lime green interior accents. Twin 10kWh battery packs provide a combined capacity of 20kWh, allowing for a range of up to 120 miles in Eco mode. Three drive modes \u2014 Eco, Sport and Auto \u2014 adjust the car\u2019s performance for different driving experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KIA noted that the one-off vehicle is simply a celebratory project and is not planned for general sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\"
