1968 Ford Mustang Goes Electric and Still has 800 HP

June 16, 2015

Tipping the scales at 3,300 pounds, the e-Stang weighs about the same as a full-option 390 big-block-powered 1968 Mustang. The entire car, including the paint-and-bodywork, was built in-house at Blood Shed Motors. Although the shop has the ability to perform ground-up restorations, it prefers to start with solid running and driving cars for its electric conversion packages.

Electrified? – The future is here. Mitch Medford’s 1968 Mustang fastback kicks out a shocking 800 hp, 1,800 lb-ft, and 10-second timeslips courtesy of an all-electric powertrain.

“Zombie 222″is an all-electric ’68 Mustang fastback that eats big-blocks, spits out 10-second timeslips, and runs 174 mph in the standing mile.

Gone are all the visceral elements of driving a musclecar, as the e-Mustang hums along in near silence like a golf cart. At least that’s what you think until you hit the loud pedal and unleash 800 horsepower and 1,800 lb-ft of torque.

The two 11-inch electric motors sit longitudinally inside the engine bay. To mimic the look of a gasoline engine, the controllers are mounted where the valvecovers would typically sit on a V-8. According to Mitch, AC motors rule in the passenger car world, and DC motors rule in the electric drag racing world. To get the same level of performance as with a DC motor, an AC motor would be three times as expensive.

The e-Stang sits on 17-inch 427 Cobra wheels. It destroys the 315mm-wide Hoosier drag radials at will in complete silence. The car is something to witness indeed.
