The British Finally Came In And Fixed The Mustang. Engineers in the UK have created 499 fully electric Mustangs, and I want one.

Maybe the same people who did the original wiring on my '66 MGB. When it comes to automotive electronic issues, I know my first thought is to turn to the British and those folks at Lucas.

I don’t think it has much in the way of safety upgrades.
400 to 500 grand! OUCH!
To: Red Badger
No, thank you. If they had put in a diesel engine running at a constant RPM, driving a generator, which then drove electric motor on all 4 wheels via power electronics, then MAYBE. That, at least, you could fuel up in a reasonable time at a gas station. And, the torque of electric motors is unbelievable, even at 0 RPM.
But with a BATTERY? That takes HOURS to charge? And has less than 200 miles range (less in cold WX)? NO THANKS!

Did they drop in a Merlin Rolls Royce engine?

If the British have made a breakthrough in electronic car technology it probably involves pioneering efforts in finding a way to make a lithium ion battery drip oil on your driveway.

My Cadillac CTS-V was only $100K, does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, top speed of 200 MPH, Range is Over 300 miles and takes 5 minutes to fully Recharge the Fuel Tank

I believe that the motor torque is only unbelievable from a battery. These batteries supply unbelievable levels of current, at least for a while. Generators, not so much.
To: Red Badger
No thanks - I prefer my ‘69 fastback...

I dunno, freight trains seem to do okay. Can’t tell me that they don’t have heavy torque needs.
To: Red Badger
Looks the same, but without the original ‘brains’.
It’s the insides that made the Mustang what it was/is.
Either way, I never did like the Mustang, no matter what the year, or changes.

I have a 67 Sprite with Positive Ground, real easy to let the smoke out of parts and wires if you aren’t careful

Electric mustang? Two words I never thought I’d see in a sentence.
