when it comes to automobile, the word ‘handmade’ is synonymous with astronomical price tag, which obviously, is not for everyone. however, if you are into that sort of thing, i.e. handmade or say, tailor-made, like those richie rich would prefer, then The Netherlands-based automaker, Carice Cars may have just the right car for you – that’s if you fine with just two seats and has a thing for retro aesthetics. the Carice MK1, as it is called, is an electric-powered roadster that is tailor-made to your specific requirements. it is the Dutch outfit’s first car and is hand-built in a small warehouse in Holland. the look is unmistakably retro with minimal crease and simple, flowing lines which were both hallmarks of the sports car of the 1950s and 1960s.

it has a roundish front and rear end that reminiscences that of the classic Porsche 356. heck, even the wheels are almost identical to the 60s’ Porsche 356C. in another words, with the Carice MK1, you will have the full flavor of the cars of the 50s (and maybe even the 60s), but with an eco-friendly, efficient, modern powertrain, plus the exquisiteness of a tailor-made luxury car – all without breaking your bank, well, not by too much as compared to Rolls and the likes. the car is not one-size-fits-all (not in the literal physical sense, though), so to speak. each car is built to your requirements and therefore, under the skin, you have a choice of electric unit (up to 54 bhp) and different capacity of lithium-ion battery, and so on and so forth.

performance-wise, it could go as fast as 62 mph (100 km/h) and has a range of up to 124 miles, depending on the configurations you selected. there is even a “removable range extender” option, where an IC engine can be incorporated to recharge the onboard battery as you drive. granted, the numbers are ‘less-than-ideal’ for any car enthusiasts, but it is worthy to note that this electric roadster weighs in at mere 771 lbs (350 kg), which should, in theory, make the car ‘pretty zippy’. Carice Cars can also custom a ‘Junior Version’ for kids 16 years and up, but the folks don’t just stop there. they can even custom one that runs on hydrogen and larger battery packs. for those who have the money to drop, the Carice Cars can be yours to own starting at €22,000, excluding tax (about US$30,000). hit up Carice Cars website for more details.
