Alan Mann Racing (AMR) has launched a classic 1960s Ford Mustang – but with a powerful new electric powertrain and modern suspension arrangement.
The base car, any 1960s Mustang can be sourced by AMR or provided by the owner, and is carefully stripped and the powertrain removed. Body and remaining mechanicals are either replaced or refurbished to a very high standard, and the whole vehicle is then rebuilt around a state-of-the-art compact electric motor driving the rear wheels, and a modern, racing-standard chassis.
The suspension upgrade includes independent double wishbone suspension with billet aluminium uprights replacing the original’s front struts and rear leaf springs. The 1960s braking system is replaced with a regenerative system featuring ventilated front and rear discs with six-piston calipers in front and four-piston calipers at the rear.
