2025 Ford Mustang Electric Study Envisions Muscle Car Of The Near Future

The Mustang-inspired all-electric crossover is all Ford enthusiasts are talking about these days but what if the automaker decided to fully electrify the actual pony car?

Independent designer Adan Lopez has a pretty good idea of what a Ford Mustang Electric could look like, even though there’s no official indication that such a model may ever see the light of day. Still, it’s an interesting exercise which proves the Mustang genes could theoretically be transmitted to an all-electric model that would carry the iconic pony car’s torch deeper into the 21st century.

He actually labeled it a 2020 model, but it makes more sense to push it down the road, say for 2025. A first look is enough to realize this hypothetical creation is a Mustang. The headlights, muscular fenders, glasshouse and grille give away its identity immediately – not to mention the illuminated logos. The proportions, however, are significantly altered, and for good reason.

Since there’s no big V8 under the hood anymore, why make the nose as long as the current model’s when a supercar-like silhouette would also be within reach? That seems to be the reasoning behind the Mustang Electric’s shorter and much lower hood. A closer look reveals that the closed-off grille directs air underneath a “bridge” that covers the tip of the plunging hood.

This is an interesting detail the designer likely included for aerodynamic reasons; it certainly makes the electric pony car look striking. Seen from the side, the Mustang Electric does resemble a mid-engine supercar, especially since the bulged feature vertical air intakes, likely necessary to cool the batteries.

The rear end looks even more aggressive than the front, with the sculpted bumper integrating a massive diffuser and equally big air ducts. The taillights may not look very Mustang-like, but that’s probably intentional and highlights the fact that this is unlike any other Mustang, past or present.

As for the interior, it does send a retro Mustang vibe despite the presence of a massive display that merges the instrument panel with the center touchscreen.

The Mustang Electric’s hypothetical performance is definitely worthy of a supercar: the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint is said to take 2.5 seconds and the top speed is 187 mph (301 km/h). That’s certainly doable given the progress made by batteries and electric motors in recent years.
