Anyone want to put a reservation on an EV modeled after the 1967 Mustang?

If one has endless pockets there is a new alternative to the MME about to be produced.

Only 499 Reservations available, new meaning to rare Mustang EV.

I bet that's not going to have a 5 second cap when you want to open it up.

I wish they had made it a coupe rather than a fastback.

Maybe the fast back is better for wind tunnel/ drag / efficiency? Just speculation. I’m not an aerospace engineer. Or any kind of engineer.

I’m sure it probably is. But if I was worried about the wind tunnel, I wouldn’t buy a fastback either.

A quote from the article.

"A practical advantage of a fastback design is that those cars are more aerodynamic. The drag coefficient will be lower, despite lacking a wind tunnel. The notchback, the design counterpart to the fastback, has 20% more drag than a fastback does."

I got something correct. May I please have a signed note for the wife.
In other news, I did finally open the article and see they want about $500K for a car with 200 miles range using the WLPT standard????

You can build a 64-69 'Stang from scratch. New body... everything, so I'm not surprised someone's offering this.

The original Mustang wasn't a great car. I hope they push it up a notch or two.

......and for $17,500 you can have you're own shell: https://www.dynacornclassicbodies.com/1967-ford-mustang-fastback/

However if it was 60K would you go for it? I would..

Absolutely, IMHO $60k-$100k is a fair price for something like this.

Extremely low volume car from a limited kit-car company. I think their asking price makes sense from a pure manufacturing POV. Actual market however? There might be 499 people out there with deep enough pockets and zero patience in building their own. Hard to say.

GORGEOUS!!!!!


But WAY overpriced. I mean, it can only charge at 50kW? Bump that.

So you could buy a shell and get a plaid battery and motors. Just shoehorn it in for epic performance.

Maybe Rich rebuilds should give it a run!
