F-100 Eluminator, a Ford electric bet inspired by the 100 F-1978.

Ford has unveiled the new F-100 Eluminator, a pickup truck with a retro design but with two electric motors. The bad news is that this is just a concept car and is not available for sale at Ford dealers.

Ford has unveiled a new electric pickup truck that looks like a futuristic retro dream. This is the F-100 Eluminator, one of those cars that hasn't even been driven yet, but is already evoking emotion.

Based on the 1978 Ford F-100 pickup truck, the electric four-wheel drive F-100 Eluminator has 480 horsepower and is powered by Ford Performance Parts' Eluminator electric motor. Unfortunately, this is just a concept car for now, so rushing to your local Ford dealer will only be disappointing. However, the F-100 Eluminator is a great example of electric vehicle aesthetics moving forward or technically being pushed back.

“Our F-100 Eluminator concept is a preview of how we support customers as they go all-electric and achieve zero emissions even for our traditional vehicles,” said Eric Xing, F-Eluminator Global Customization Director. . Ford cars, accessories and licenses.

The F-100 Eluminator could have been painted brighter, the gray is a bit dull. But the real draw here is to enjoy the 70s style without disturbing the ozone layer and creating a new hole every time you turn it on.

Eluminator engine available for your vintage car

If you have a mechanical aptitude and an extra $3,900, you can purchase an Eluminator engine to electrify your own classic car. But if you want a vintage aesthetic reproduction with an electric heart that just rolled off the assembly line, you just have to keep wishing and hoping.

Electric cars are far better for the environment than the gas-guzzlers of yesteryear, but their often futuristic aesthetic isn't to everyone's liking. We hope the Ford F-100 Eluminator will help expand our understanding of what electric cars can be and encourage everyone to move away from gasoline.
