Ford has teamed up with Webasto to develop a 100% electric prototype of the brand's iconic pony car. The Ford Mustang Lithium delivers 900 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque managed by a six-speed manual transmission, which is a possible path for the future of the most radical versions of muscle cars.

According to Ford, the Mustang Lithium is not a single marketing exercise, but it is a test laboratory for battery and thermal management technologies.

In addition to the replacement of the combustion engine with a dual electric one, the Mustang Lithium has a one-inch lowered suspension, 22 ”forged wheels, Torsen differential, six-piston Brembo brakes forward from the Shelby GT350 R and a polycarbonate window chest To see inside.

The electrical system is 800 volts, the same as the Porsche Taycan, which is almost double compared to almost all electrical market. This allows the use of lighter components, more power and less heat generation.

In the words of Hau Thai-Tang, Head of Product Development and Purchasing “It is no secret that Ford intends to electrify its most po[CENSORED]r models and this prototype developed in conjunction with Webasto allows us to show our customers what electric motor trains they can contribute to a car they know and love as the Mustang. ”

Another interesting aspect is that the Mustang Lithium has several driving modes (Valet, Sport, Track and Beast) that allow you to control the torque according to different needs. These functions are controlled via a new 10.4 ”vertical screen.

It is worth remembering that Ford's electrification plan is very serious, since the firm will invest 15 billion dollars until 2022 and in a few days, prior to the Los Angeles Auto show it will be presenting a new electric SUV with inspired design in the Mustang that will have a range of 480 km, as well as a fully electric F-150 pick up in a couple of years.

The above, not to mention the hybrid offer the new Escape and Explorer.
