British start-up Charge Automotive is to build 499 fully electric classic Ford Mustangs that will debut at next month’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Prices will start at an eye-watering £300,000, dependent on spec, and first customer deliveries are expected in September.
Whether you’re a fan of electric classic cars or not, it was probably inevitable that the Mustang would get the same treatment as other classic designs such as the E-type, Mini and MGB at some stage.
So, what do you get for your money?
Well, the first bit of good news is that ‘electric’ doesn’t mean milk-float pace. The Charge Mustang has a 64kWh battery pack and electric motors producing 469bhp, which should make for a sub-four-second 0-60mph time.
The result is that this limited-run model will end up being rather faster than the V8-powered Mk1 Mustang it’s based on.
