NEW Classic Ford Bronco: FULL Carbon Fibre + 600bhp

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is the pure electric Zero Labs Ford Bronco Carbon Edition, a vintage Bronco with a next-gen electric drivetrain, and there hasn’t been much skimping going on. There’s a 100kWh battery, 235-mile range, dual motors for all-wheel drive, and a not-inconsequential 600bhp.
The suspension has been junked and replaced with the very best independent gear, the brakes now work rather than lightly suggesting slowdown and every nut, bolt and washer has been replaced.
And that’s not even the special bit. A traditional Bronco would be pressed steel… this one is made of lightweight carbon fibre. But all that attention to detail doesn’t come cheap - the carbon edition weighs in at upwards of $450,000 dollars. Which would make anyone cough.
Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford heads to the West Coast to meet up with the creator of Zero Labs, Adam Roe, to take this rather special Bronco for a spin.

    There was a lot of things to like about the original Bronco (stock 302 V8, part time 4x4 with locking hubs), I bought a used 1975 model, in the later '70s for $4,500. I owned a '73 Land Rover 88 SWB prior to that (paid 3,500 for it), and wanted a 4x4 of similar size body with more power for the highways we have here in British Columbia, Canada. Don't care for the EV version, or the FORD raised imprint on the tail gate as the original Bronco had.

    Wasn't interested in this build when I read 600hp, seems like Supercharged V8 specs i.e. centrifugal supercharged Coyote engine. Then I was pleasantly surprised it was a 100kWh EV. Classic cars with Meh to horrible engines upgraded to powerful BEV drive trains will actually be driven more. Main thing is keeping them driving on streets. (Obviously don't screw with classic cars with special engines)

Their mission is to be in the forefront of electric conversion early on. At $100,000+ it's going to be a looong time before that price drops down so the MASSES can convert their cars.

    Don't worry this isn't Singer or Guntherwerks, the market on these will soon dry out and "ZeroLabs" or whatever they call themselves will go the way of so many before it. The REAL demand for this kinda stuff simply doesn't exist outside of west coast USA. Everyone else wants a restomod Bronco with an awesome gasoline powered engine, if they didn't just purely restore an old one themselves. Only someone with California insensibilities would choose something like this. So I hope this guy enjoys riding his cool little electric bike he probably rented through waves and doing some stupid dance on an internationally syndicated automotive KZread channel, but no one will know his or the companies name in 5 years, if that long at all. Not hating, there are just SO MANY companies that jump on the latest trend that no one will hear from ever again, and this seems like one of them.

Its a beautifully made car but it needs twice as much range. Anyone mad about the price needs to understand how few of these are being made per year. All the r&d needs to be recouped amonst the handful of cars that will be built. Im sure if they could make 1000 of them the price could be 100k less and as the quantity goes up the price continues down further. I look forward to seeing what this company will do in the future

    I'd prefer a 4cylinder 150hp car over a 600 hp electric one so it doesn't cost ½ million.

    Then buy that instead. Nobody forces you to get this.

    $450,000 for a car that will remain drivable for "10-15 more years". Yet. there are original broncos on the road currently - and wiill remain on the road.

    10-15 years would be before upgrades I am assuming. Thats about the life of a battery before replacing. They have other videos where they show battery swaps
