Mustang Lithium Concept

Ford is going electric for SEMA this year with its freshly announced Mustang Lithium. The pony car is an all-electric one-off with over 900 horsepower and 1000 lb-ft of torque, a bunch of aftermarket add-ons, and a six-speed manual transmission. Hell yeah.

The Mustang Lithium was built in collaboration with Webasto, the company that developed the car's battery system. It's an 800-volt setup, similar to the one found on the Porsche Taycan. Power goes from two inverters to a Phi-Power dual-core electric motor, which sends thrust through through a billet six-speed Getrag MT82 manual transmission. There's an 8.8-inch Torsen limited-slip differential out back, twisting Ford Performance half-shafts.

Holy fuck this is rad. If this is the future I can get on board with that.

I'm waiting for an electric mid sized truck.

Looks cool but a six-speed manual??? Gears are usually not needed with electrics, and if so it’s only two. Not to mention that trans would need crazy strength to take the abuse of an electric powertrain.
I still prefer ICE, the car looks great and has good stats, but sound is a big part of car culture to me.

I think having a manual 6 speed is what makes this so cool. Also, believe the trans is built as hell.

^Ya I love it, looks like the hood and roof may be grey or gunmetal coloured, if it weren’t for the weird blue graphics it would be perfect.

Might be cool but also basically pointless, it’s not needed. Any let’s be honest here, Ford isn’t the greatest at building strong trannies, so unless the car has some kind of nanny as Don stated, that trans will be scattered pretty quickly.

It's a full billet Calimer built trans. I know not needed but I feel like its a huge step to bridge the Motorhead-Techie gap that so many electrics miss. To me this is genuinely the most excited electric car dreamt by an OE.

Really!!
First of all the manuals ford contract them out to third party and heck the T-56 is a stout piece and the GT 500 ones are even better...…

The auto's have come a long way...the 6R680 will support 900 rwhp untouched and the 10 speed is showing the same......
