This 1500hp Electric ’68 Mustang Makes A Tesla P85D Look Slow
by AllAutoExperts | 17 April, 2020
A Texas-based enthusiast named Mitch Medford has teamed up with well-known electric drag racer John Wayland to build an all-electric 1968 Ford Mustang that's capable of beating a top-spec Tesla Model S P85D on a drag strip.
Dubbed Zombie 222, Medford's pony car looks like a mildly-modified Mustang fastback from a distance but a quick peek under the hood reveals it's anything but.
The stock 289-cubic-inch V8 engine has been tossed out and replaced with a pair of electric motors rated at a total of 440 volts, linked to a high-capacity battery pack designed specifically for the track.
