The Oldsmobile Rocket 88 classic design looks amazing whether it uses a V8 or is entirely electric, it’s designed by Rostislav Prokop . The 5.0-liter “Rocket” V8 used in the Oldsmobile, which was successful and produced for a long time, gave the vehicle its nickname “rocket” and turned it into a sort of muscle car.
The car performed well in racing despite having just about 135 horsepower, but today’s collectors are particularly drawn to vehicles with that level of power and a classic appearance. What we have here is a Beast, a completely unique project with a pro-EV ethos and a post-modern restoration as its ultimate goal.
