It's said that the electric-powered Mustang has an extraordinary power that is equal to 900 hp with torque reaching more than 1,000 ft.lbs. For now, the car is available one unit only. It seems as if it wants to show the electrification process that has been done by Ford till today.
"It's no secret that Ford electrified its popular models. This Mustang prototype provided us and the Webasto the opportunity to show consumers what electricity can do for performance cars they already know and love," Head of Ford Product Development, Hau Thai-Tang said.

This electric-powered beast is very flat and sleek, with a carbon-fiber body. Under the hood, which is usually filled with a conventional petrol engine is now replaced with the Phi-Power dual-core electric motor and dual power inverters. All of that is powered by an 800-volt Webasto battery with EVDrive technology, where the battery power is almost 2 times bigger than the electric car batteries available on the market today.

Besides using a 6-speed manual transmission system, and to support its fierce performance, a number of other additional features were installed on the Mustang Lithium such as the Brembo brake device that is the same as the Shelby GT350R, Ford Performance's Track Handling Pack and strut tower brace, and diffuser.
But in contrast to reality, it turn out was not the figure of an electric-powered muscle car which was later produced by Ford. Well, in the near future, the American automotive giant manufacturer is preparing the figure of the Ford Mustang Mach-E to be released at the end of 2020.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is the all-new, Mustang-inspired, fully-electric performance utility vehicle with power up to 332 hp and 417 lb.ft of torque capable of running as far as 300 miles. This car is able to accelerate from rest to 60 mph in just 3 seconds.
