What it is

Through our Iconic Division, we apply the same electrified craftsmanship to classic Volkswagen platforms (Beetle and Transporter/Kombi). In addition to guest shuttles, we engineer special-purpose vehicles—on both VW and Fiat bases—dedicated to Food & Beverage, maintenance, luggage, and housekeeping operations.

Built for Operations (and Brand Storytelling)

We create open-air VW shuttles for on-property movement and a coordinated suite of service vehicles that carry your visual identity across every touchpoint:

  • F&B carts: bar/aperitivo, coffee/gelato, juice & wellness, poolside service

  • Housekeeping & maintenance: modular storage, tool systems, linen racks, waste/recycling modules

  • Luggage & events: configurable bays, tie-downs, canopy and lighting options

Electric, Quiet, Efficient

Zero-emission powertrains with near-silent operation keep guest areas serene. AC charging simplifies daily routines; reliability and low running costs support intensive hospitality cycles. We provide training, SOPs, and fleet care plans.

Personalisation & Finish

From colourways and upholstery to cabinetry, signage, and enamel badges, each build is tailored to your brand standards and property setting—so your Marina 500 Lunga fleet and VW special vehicles read as one coherent family.

Why “Lunga”

Marina 500 Lunga preserves the timeless charm of the spiaggina while adding space for guests and luggage, a more relaxed seating position, and a stronger visual presence. It’s ideal for hotels, beach clubs, and private estates seeking memorable transfers—and for anyone who wants a refined daily cruiser for coastal roads and historic centres.

100% Electric

  • Zero emissions, near-silent: smooth, quiet rides—let the harbour soundtrack do the talking.

  • Easy charging: compatible with home and widely available AC charging.

  • Lower running costs: minimal maintenance, high reliability for intensive hospitality use.

  • ZTL-friendly: designed for historic centres and waterfronts (subject to local regulations).

Materials & Details

  • Hand-restored bodywork, pastel paints inspired by the Mediterranean

  • Rattan & leather seats, hand-woven to spec

  • Marine-grade teak details and nautical finishes (ropes, fenders, canopy)

  • Refined controls & gauges: vintage aesthetics, modern function

  • Optimised lighting for evening use on property paths and marinas

Personalisation

Every Marina 500 Lunga is built around your identity: bespoke colours and trims, logo/monogram on panels, seats, and canopy. “Hospitality Spec” options include towel holders, on-board mini-bar, and an enlarged luggage bay. We offer custom rattan weaves and stitch patterns, embroidery, and enamelled metal badges. Safety and professional packages available on request.

Built for Hospitality

A welcome experience guests will talk about. Perfect for room-to-beach transfers, sunset drives, events, and photoshoots. Operations are simple—overnight charging, daytime shifts—with training and SOP manuals included. We match colours, fabrics, and trims to your design language and support fleets with scheduled maintenance plans and guaranteed spare parts.

The Drive:

Light steering, instant electric torque, and a comfortable ride. The compact 500 footprint remains, while the “Lunga” adds space and poise—a more scenic presence without losing agility in narrow streets.

Build Process

  1. Donor selection & body restoration (inspection, metalwork, epoxy primer)

  2. Boutique paintwork, layer-by-layer testing

  3. Electric conversion, dedicated wiring looms

  4. Crafted interior fit-out (seating, teak, canopy, bespoke details)

  5. Testing & handover with full photo set and documentation

Homologation & Markets:

We provide guidance and documentation for compliance. Street legality and road use depend on the destination market. Contact us for tailored advice for your country/municipality.
