The new Dacia Spring envisioned as an electric sports car with a crazy look!
With only 82 horsepower, the new Dacia Spring is clearly not designed to break speed records. That didn’t stop the German tuner Carpoint from imagining a radical version of this small electric vehicle. An expanded body, a huge spoiler, a diffuser, and a lowered chassis: this city car completely transforms its character.
The new Dacia Spring has just been unveiled, and some are already thinking about how to modify it. Carpoint, a German specialist known for its modifications on the Duster under the Redust brand, has taken on this Romanian small electric vehicle virtually. And let’s just say it’s quite impressive!
A Spring that acts like a sports car
The result bears little resemblance to the peaceful electric city car. At the front, Carpoint envisions a huge splitter accompanied by several aerodynamic appendages. The wings are significantly widened, and the underbody becomes much more substantial. Large wheels complete this transformation.

The back is even more spectacular. The Spring features a generously sized spoiler and a particularly bold diffuser, complete with a competition-style center light. The ground clearance is also greatly reduced. In short, this is far from Dacia’s usual economical and pragmatic philosophy.
However, there’s no need to pull out the checkbook just yet. These images were generated using artificial intelligence, and this version doesn’t exist physically. That said, Carpoint might still be tempted to develop some elements based on them, since the company already sells accessories for the brand’s models.
A lot of power, but only 82 hp
But there’s a slight problem… Beneath this stunning exterior, the performance is far less impressive. The new Spring generates 60 kW, or 82 hp, and 175 Nm of torque. It takes 12.1 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (ouch!) and its top speed is limited to 130 km/h.
Values consistent with its role as an affordable compact electric car, but far less so given its sports car appearance. The new generation focuses primarily on efficiency, featuring a 27.5 kWh LFP battery and a WLTP range of 250 km. It starts at 17,900 euros in France or 14,280 euros after deducting the minimum Coup de Pouce subsidy.
And that is precisely the paradox of this vehicle... Spending several thousand euros on a spectacular body kit for one of the cheapest electric cars on the market would seem quite odd. But it’s up to you to decide!
