Electric Aston conversions: Hot or not?

OK, I understand a lot of folks think that converting classics like the DB6 is just heresy. But personally, I think as long as the cars aren't being hacked up in the process, it's kind of cool. I think it could be cool if the roads of the future looked like the ones from Gattaca. What do you think? Check out more info here.

I don't understand why they say that they'll soon be undriveable with the new laws coming up? What laws banning classic cars and their engines? I haven't heard of any (and they'll never pass here in the US)

In Europe it's popular to legislate zero emissions within major city centers.

If Aston did the conversion I would be into it. Still an Aston basically.

I know that Paris is putting rules in place to limit Older Diesel powered car and trucks from entering the city center.

I think it's sad to ruin a car like an old Aston, just to show off your "I save the world" attitude.
In reality it just doesn't change anything to the world, only to the Aston.
Heritage in my opinion includes the engine.

Each to it's own taste...
