V8 out electro in! The Ford Mustang from Charge Automotive

Who would have thought that! Before 5-6 was years ago Tesla Motors, with owner Elon Musk, nothing more than a ridiculed company that trumpeted promises and wild ideas for the future to draw attention to itself. Real and serious implementations somehow didn't really exist. Until that Model S came! Since then, the US manufacturer is a pioneer in the e-technology for vehicle and at the latest with the Model 3 finally in the black. And at least so smiled a few years ago, various tuners who were already trying with the first project vehicles to retrofit cars on electric. But at the latest with serious vehicles like the Jaguar E-type Zero Something like a new era has dawned here too. Suddenly there is one Rough World Porsche 911 with 700 PSE electric motor or an ancient one Lincoln Mercury from 1949 the most ecological Is on the way.

And now it has even caught the epitome of American US muscle car. The Ford Mustang! The English company Charge Automotive actually dared to throw out the V8 and replace it with an Arrival electric unit. And this bullet shouldn't even remain a one-off. One would like to build another 498 pieces as Fastback & Cabrio. A fully electric version of the pony car - can that work out? In view of 408 PS and unbelievable "1.200 NM" torque - definitely! So equipped, the Mustang flies to 3,09 km / h in just 100 seconds and is therefore faster than any standard Mustang that has been manufactured in the last 54 years. Even a Shelby GT350-R can not keep up with that. In addition to the tremendous torque, there is another decisive advantage. Charge Automotive It upgrades the Mustang to four-wheel drive, which contributes significantly to the rapid acceleration.

The London-based company has put together a team of engineers dedicated to the development of the E-Mustang, who have previously worked for Williams F1, McLaren, Jaguar or Land Rover. The technical know-how is no coincidence. Incidentally, the pitch-black presentation vehicle is based on a genuine 1960 Mustang. Like the guys from Classic Recreations may also be the team of Charge Automotive build the Mustang under license with immediate effect. And of course it is not enough to just implant an electric engine. A luxurious and technological interior, including a digital interface in the center console, as well as a completely modified chassis and significantly improved brakes will find their way into the Mustang.

everything has its price, of course
