The truck features an all-wheel drive via two Eluminator
electric motors borrowed from the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition.
The motors power the front and rear wheels, producing 480 horsepower and 634
lb.-ft. of torque. Ford hopes the vehicle will find takers in people who want
the classic retro car look, but with an eye on the future.
The all-electric F-100 Eluminator concept has a
zero-tailpipe-emissions, states Ford. The truck is painted in Avalanche Gray
with Cerakote Copper accents, while the interior features a billet aluminium
dash and avocado-tanned leather upholstery.
The revamped interior also features a digital instrument
cluster and touchscreen infotainment system display, with the wheel hub
embossed with an F-100 logo.
Built in collaboration with MLe Racecars, the vehicle is
fitted with custom 19x10-inch billet aluminium three-piece wheels by Forgeline
wrapped in Michelin Latitude Sport 275/45-19 high-performance tires, said Ford
in a statement.
The pick-up made its debut at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment
Market Association) Show in Las Vegas this week.
“Our F-100 Eluminator concept is a preview of how we're
supporting customers as they go all-electric and embrace zero-tailpipe
emissions performance, even for our heritage vehicles,” said Eric Cin, global
director, vehicle personalisation, accessories and licensing, at Ford. Cin
added, “Our F-100 Eluminator concept is a preview of how we're supporting
customers as they go all-electric and embrace zero-tailpipe emissions
performance, even for our heritage vehicles.”
The Eluminator motors are priced at $3,900 each. The
additional kit requirement for the Ford concept electric vehicle is not
currently available but will be added later.
With a push toward electrification, Ford Performance has
plans to develop components for the Eluminator powertrain. Mark Rushbrook,
Global Director of Ford Performance, said “electric performance is fun”, adding
that “as the industry moves toward electric vehicles, motorsports and the
performance aftermarket will too”.
