ECD Auto Design Electrifies Classic Mustangs, Pioneering EV Vintage Performance
07 Mayo 2024 - 7:54AM
ECD Auto Design, the world’s largest Land Rover and Jaguar
restoration company known for its custom luxury builds, including
bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers and E-Types, proudly announces the
integration of cutting-edge EV powertrains into its Mustang
Fastback and Convertible models.
Following the recent announcement of ECD Auto Design’s product
expansion into the American muscle car market, this significant
move emphasizes the company's commitment to innovation,
sustainability and ultimately customization options.
Built upon ECD's legacy of precision and excellence, the classic
Ford Mustang line will now offer electric powertrain options,
crafted within ECD’s state-of-the-art 100,000 square foot facility.
Each vehicle will exemplify ECD's dedication to pushing the
boundaries of automotive design. In line with ECD's world renown
customization model, every classic Mustang will offer a range of
powertrain configurations, allowing customers to tailor their
vehicles to their preferences.
The electric powertrains will be based off ECD’s second
generation 300 HP with direct drive units and will include DC fast
charging. Twin Derale high performance coolers are utilized for
optimal flexibility and airflow. The range for the Mustang EV model
is approximately 150 miles, fully charged.
ECD’s experience in retrofitting Land Rover Defender, Range
Rover and Jaguar E-Types with EV powertrains was further enhanced
into its second-generation units that will be carried over to the
Mustang. The distinctive of ECD’s second generation electric
powertrains include:
- Fast
Charge: high speed charging, going from 10% to 80% in less
than one hour – perfect for any lifestyle.
- Creep
Mode: Facilitates slow driving when the brake is released,
bringing the driver experience even closer to a traditional
automatic transmission. This feature is also powerful enough to
hold an ECD build at a stop on inclines.
- Cruise
Control: New electric vehicles will have standard cruise
control functionality, perfectly in line with modern EV
expectations.
- All-new
components: Each build will receive a brand-new, U.S.-made
electric system. Plus, each component has warranties from the
vendor, improving customer service time.
- Changeable
drive modes (Sport, Eco, Normal): Drivers can toggle
through three new drive modes, changing the throttle pedal
response, power and efficiency of the vehicle.
- Interactive
touchscreen display: A true connection with the vehicle,
the cutting-edge display will place real time data at the driver’s
fingers, including accurate charge information and mileage range
until empty.
Elliot Humble, Chief Technology Officer for ECD Auto Design
states, “We’re proud to introduce EV technology to our iconic
American Mustang models. Our team at ECD is dedicated to
meticulously crafting each classic Mustang, ensuring they embody
both performance and sustainability.”

home, ECD has recently launched a new state of the art vehicle
configurator where users can design their dream vehicle from any
