EVs from different worlds.
In a fascinating juxtaposition of automotive history, Worldwide Auctioneers is set to offer two electric vehicles that represent the extremes of the industry's evolution. On one hand, there's the cutting-edge 2024 Tesla Cyberbeast Truck, a futuristic powerhouse with only 166 delivery miles and a mind-bending 2.6-second 0 to 60 mph acceleration. On the other, the auction features a meticulously restored 1917 Rauch & Lang JX7 Electric, an early pioneer in the electric vehicle market, showcasing the roots of 'green energy' in a time when gasoline engines were just beginning to dominate.
These two vehicles, separated by over a century, highlight the incredible advancements in electric vehicle technology while paying homage to its origins. The Tesla Cyberbeast, with its space-age design and unrivaled performance, stands in stark contrast to the classic elegance and early innovation of the Rauch & Lang JX7, yet both share a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what electric vehicles can achieve.
1917 Rauch & Lang JX7 Electric
The 1917 Rauch & Lang JX7 Electric stands as a remarkable testament to the early days of electric vehicle innovation and green energy. Meticulously restored to its original grandeur, this rare example boasts a sinister black finish, complemented by wood spoke wheels and newer blackwall tires, creating an imposing yet elegant presence on the road. Inside, the cabin is adorned with period-correct brown and white cord fabric upholstery, featuring a rear bench seat, swiveling parlor chair, and a suite of vintage gauges, including a Warner Auto-Meter speedometer and an 8-day Waltham watch.
Powered by a DC electric motor with five forward speeds, this JX7 showcases the advanced engineering of its time, offering a quiet, smooth ride that was ahead of its era. Recently equipped with new batteries, it remains fully functional and ready for outings, capturing the pioneering spirit of early electric vehicles. This 1917 Rauch & Lang JX7 Electric is more than just a car; it's a piece of automotive history that paved the way for the electric revolution we see today. See it here.
