Ford calls the Mustang Mach-E the “future of exhilaration,” but for many, this new model doesn’t make any sense.
And it’s not because it’s an electric SUV, but because it’s an electric SUV that’s part of the iconic Mustang family that has brought us some of the world’s most loved pony and muscle cars.
And since the Mustang Mach-E is already a thing, it’s pretty clear that EV is the direction that Ford could be using in the long term, including for the Mustang lineup.
That’s why graphics designer Lichen Zhang has come up with a new set of renderings imagining a Mustang EV that would look less like a SUV and more like a… well… some sort of Mustang. The design study envisions a Mustang EV that would launch at some point in 2030 and spearhead Ford’s EV strategy, which at that time should already be substantially more evolved than it is right now.
Supposed to be an electric muscle car (that’s certainly a weird mix of words), this 2030 Mustang EV has nothing to do with an SUV, and this can only be a good thing. But on the other hand, it looks more like a sportscar from certain angles, and we’re not sure this is the direction that Mustang fans would want Ford to use in the long term.
But right now, the Mustang going all electric isn’t something that’s totally off the table, especially with the Mach-E just around the corner.
The renderings here claim we still have some 10 years to enjoy the iconic model just the way we know it, but on the other hand, it all depends on how Ford’s electric car strategy advances in the short them. Depending on this, it could take many more years until we see a Mustang that only uses an electric motor.
