Shortly
after it was revealed that Ford is open to the idea of an all-electric Mustang
coupe to join the Mach-E, a series of renderings depicting such a very car have
been published. These
renderings, created by the Mach-E Club, morph together key design elements of
the four-door Mach-E with the familiar shape of the Ford Mustang fastback that
we all know and love. The result is surprisingly nice.
Two
different front fascias have been designed for the all-electric sports car. The
first fascia lacks a traditional grille, just like the four-door Mach-E, and
instead features a faux grille surround to provide it with a more traditional
‘face’ like most ICE-vehicles. The
second fascia includes a full-size grille like the regular Mustang but due to
the vehicle’s electric powertrain, it wouldn’t be used for cooling and is
simply there for aesthetics. Found at the front of both models are sharp LED
headlights like the four-door Mach-E.
At
the rear, the Mach-E’s taillights have been morphed onto the fascia of a normal
two-door Mustang. The presence of electric motors also means there’s no need
for tailpipes so they’ve been removed. Quizzed
about the possibility of an electric Ford Mustang coupe becoming a reality,
Ford’s president of automotive Joe Hinrichs told CNBC at the Los Angeles Auto
Show such a car won’t happen “in the near future, but probably someday.”
If
such a car does become a reality, Ford could put to good use some of the
lessons it’s learned with the 900 hp Mustang Lithium EV project car built with
supplier Webasto and unveiled at last month’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
