Shelby Supercars has planned to make an electric super-coupe, and announces that it will be the quickest all-electric car in the world.

The all-electric Ultimate Aero of SSC will be set up this spring, and it is supposed to ‘set a new standard in the electric car industry’.
It is set to speed up from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds, arrive at a top speed of 208mph and has a 150-200 mile series on a solitary recharge.

The electric powertrain of SSC can be assembled for productions from 200bhp-1200bhp, the second suitable for military vehicles, delivery trucks, buses, or other heavy-duty machinery. The company hopes to supply the technology for furniture in cars from small economy vehicles to SUVs.

Ford is displaying its revised Mustang at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. It’s ‘leaner and meaner’, says Ford, with re-tuned suspension, a horsepower promote and some small titling fine-tunes.

Power from the 4.6-litre V8 has been increased to 315bhp, and the fumes altered for ‘an even throatier’ sound. The V6 stays same.

Constancy control is now normal as well as traction control, the springs, anti-roll bars and shock absorbers have all been retooled, and all models now have bigger wheels and tyres, from 17-19″ reckoning on version.
Detail alterations are a new grille with incorporated headlamps and blinkers, inspired by those of the 1970 Mustang, and on the GT, minor fog lamps mounted in the upper grille – a nod to the ’67-’68 models.
