Yes, this beautiful bodied car in an EV version could not only revitalize the UK automobile industry but also bring competition to the Lightening GT. Hum… Test drive!
The numbers, so far we know very little but the EV should reach 120 mph and 250 miles range. If the acceleration is on par with its Ford-powered gas-sister, we could see 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Promising.
