Behold: the Charge Electric Ford Mustang – one of 499 first generation (1965 – 1973) Mustangs with their oily old gizzards swapped out for quad electric motors by UK EV startup Charge.
The 64Kw/h battery is good for 320km in cruise mode but considerably less if you engage the full 536bhp four wheel drive. Top speed is 240km/h but the thing will accelerate to 100km/h in less than 3 seconds.
Debuting next month at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and yours for €335,000.

Tax is chaaaph tho
Why?
Actually, I think this is a good idea. An ability for people to keep the old muscle cars operational, without worrying about the problems of obtaining petrol in future days. I would not use it for my runabout Opel Astra, but for certain cars of a particular aesthetic, this is I think a good option.
I see that, but it’s like putting tits on a bull. Muscle cars are just that, not 320 Kms of hopeful.
Ah yeah
Woof!
would
If Batman was there
Oooh, thats nice
Should be fined 300k for taking the Mustang emblem off the grill.
Electrifi, based in Enniskerry, are looking to do this with all manner of expensive classics.

The problem is that classic cars don’t do the mileage to justify the carbon cost of the batteries
Oh my, that is beautiful
