A 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback replica is being converted to electric by removing its V8 and replacing it with battery packs from Volkswagen ID series EVs. The car is 3D-scanned to fit the large batteries into an engine bay never designed for them.
to take these classic cars and turn them into electric vehicles. And gorgeous 1968 Ford Mustang fastback, technically a replica of the Bullitt car. This particular car had a modern Ford V8, so we pull that out, and really what we're going to then do is we go in and we 3D scan everything. You know, in 1968, they were not thinking about how to fit a giant battery pack in these things, right? So we have to occupy the same space that the V8 engine was in, and sometimes that's tricky, right? So we have these big battery boxes, and the 3D scan helps us position them in there just right. So these are what's going in that Mustang, and you can kind of see these modules are actually the same modules that are used in Volkswagen ID. Yeah, careful, that is live. See, that's— I didn't touch it. I didn't touch it. Okay.
