A 1990s Ford Mustang, known for its Fox platform, underwent an electric motor conversion, boosting its performance significantly while keeping its original five-speed manual transmission. This EV swap, which uses entirely new aftermarket parts, resulted in a vehicle that not only exceeded its original horsepower but also maintained a similar weight. While classic car enthusiasts often resist such modifications, the successful integration of an electric drivetrain into this beloved model illustrates the potential compatibility of modern technology without compromising driving engagement.
But while you may not agree with all classic car EV swaps, some make more sense than others, and this early 1990s Fox-body Ford Mustang might be one of them.
The key points with this particular conversion featured in a video uploaded by The Racing Channel are the original manual gearbox, which you don't have to use in an EV, but it still adds to the driving fun, and the fact that it isn't any heavier than the original.
