Electrifying Fusion: Charge '67 Blends Classic Mustang Style with Cutting-Edge Electric Technology

Picture this: you're in the market for a pet, and you're torn between a stealthy ninja and a cute, cuddly kitten. What do you do? You get a Ninja Kitten, of course! That's the trendy thing these days, after all. Now, imagine applying the same concept to cars. Intriguing, isn't it? Well, let me introduce you to the Charge '67, a magnificent mongrel of the automotive world that's more tantalizing than McQueen's steed in Bullitt.

The Charge '67 is what you get when you take a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback and inject it with the cutting-edge electric technology of EV start-up Arrival. Picture Steve McQueen's iconic Mustang mating with an electric van – a love affair only possible in the twisted minds of tech entrepreneur Denis Sverdlov and his team at Charge Cars.

Now, the '67 isn't some rusty old classic that's been retrofitted with an electric drivetrain. Oh no, this beast is a purpose-built EV with a brand-new, officially licensed Mustang body shell made entirely of carbon fiber.

But let's not stop there. To spice things up, the '67 borrows some McLaren design expertise, courtesy of Mark Roberts, former head of design operations at the British supercar manufacturer. The result? A modern, minimalist, and pure masterpiece that retains all the aggression and muscularity of the original '60s design, making every other car on the road green with envy.

Under its alluring exterior, the Charge '67 packs a punch thanks to the four electric motors - each powering an individual wheel with 100 kW. Providing juice is the 64-kWh battery, with a respectable 200-mile range. And while it may not boast the longest range in the EV world, it has more than enough juice to take you on a thrilling ride that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Once you step inside this stunning creation, you'll find an interior that's the epitome of modern luxury, complete with sports seats, a streamlined dashboard, and a tech package that's as bespoke as the car itself. Sat-nav, phone connectivity, traffic light recognition, and adaptive cruise control are just a few of the fancy features you'll enjoy as you cruise around town in this electrifying beauty.

Driving the Charge '67 is an experience that'll make you forget all about your mundane daily commute. The throttle pedal is exquisitely measured, allowing you to unleash the car's monstrous 1,120 pound-feet of electric torque in a way that's both smooth and deliberate. The brake pedal offers equal feel and progression, making the '67 an absolute joy to drive. And with a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds, it's got the speed to match its looks.

But don't let its performance specs fool you – the Charge '67 isn't a sports car. No, this magnificent machine is a born cruiser, perfect for turning heads and making a statement as you glide silently through the streets, soaking up the admiring glances of onlookers.

Of course, exclusivity comes at a price. The Charge '67 starts at a cool £350,000 ($425,000 in the US), putting it firmly in supercar territory. You might find other electric cars out there boasting better specs and a more wallet-friendly price tag, but I dare say none of them possess the audacity and charisma of the Charge '67. It stands in a league of its own.

So, if you happen to be a cash-laden tech entrepreneur, itching to toss your Tesla aside for something truly extraordinary, then look no further! The Charge '67 is the answer to your prayers. With its jaw-dropping looks, electrifying performance, and state-of-the-art technology, it's the perfect blend of classic style and contemporary substance.

The Charge '67 has a certain charm that's hard to resist, it's bound to turn heads and win hearts wherever it goes.

Yours truly,

Captain Electro.
