If you love taking horse-drawn carriage rides in New York City, you best hurry -- they might be replaced with new horseless carriages by next year.

At the New York auto show Florida-based car restoration firm The Creative Workshop introduced an eight-passenger electric horseless carriage designed to replace today's horse-drawn carriages. The company says its car blends “early 20th-century style, nostalgia and romance with 21st century eco-technology, comfort and safety,” calling the Horseless eCarriage the first brass-era-type car in more than 100 years.

Reportedly the car meets all NHTSA safety standards. TCW president/owner Jason Wenig designed the lithium ion battery-powered machine with rear-wheel-drive, 84-hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, boasting a 30 mph top speed and a 100-mile range.

“We're confident the vehicle we've created is a worthy successor to the original brass-era horseless carriage that roamed the canyons of New York City back in the day,” said Wenig. “The Horseless eCarriage celebrates the style and personality of that era.”

NYCLASS, a nonprofit animal-rights group petitioning the city to remove horses from the streets, calling it dangerous for them, commissioned the car. NYCLASS expects its bill to be approved by year end.

TWC says if its car is approved the company will build it somewhere in the city.
