MUSCLE CAR MODERNIZED
Charge Cars reimagines the 1960s Ford Mustang Fastback as an EV
Written by Andre James
Charge Cars is on a roll. It started with the 2022 "Icon of the Year" award from GQ Magazine, followed by the public unveiling at Salon Privé in London before a dynamic debut at the world-renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed.
As its next big step, the London-based company brought its all-new electric-powered muscle machine to the United States for the first time. The US launch took place at the legendary Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles this past October, followed by a series of events across the West Coast and beyond, capped off by a public display at the recent Los Angeles Auto Show.
Limited to 499 vehicles, each tailored to the buyer, the '67 by Charge Cars is an all-new, electrified adaptation of the 1960s Ford Mustang Fastback. Despite its throwback muscle car looks, the '67 is a modern electric vehicle with four motors and 536 horsepower capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and boasting a range of 200 miles.
A brand-new, officially licensed steel body shell wrapped in lightweight carbon fiber body panels encases the e-Stang's electric motors and floor-mounted batteries. In addition, the design team created a fresh interior with a fully digital dashboard, new suspension components, braking system, and lighting. Among the many amenities and advanced driver aids as part of the in-car system are a 12.3" driver display, a 12.3" central display, a premium immersive sound system, and keyless access.
The '67 is scheduled to hit the streets in late 2023 with a starting price of $450,000 in the United States. For more information, visit charge.cars.
