@@xavierdupuis8They did a good job, but it’s overpriced by about $200k. The engineering and technology it has, doesn’t justify a $450k price tag. The interior is gorgeous though, one of the best I have seen. But I would still take a new Bronco. This is a very expensive city cruiser.
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)
When he said $450k, I didn't cough; I laughed. That's an incredible amount of money for any car. I think you could get a small airplane for that price. Wow. Sure is pretty though. Gotta respect the builders!
8:44 they tossed out the manual trans and the hi/low transfer case and threw in 3 levers on top of a 'digital' transfer case. why.. driving a manual was too complex? and what does 3 levers do that replace it? not complex enough I guess. hooray for the millennial generation this was designed for.
600hp with a very elevated ride height SUV is interesting. The battery should lower the center of gravity. With good suspension, it would not be too unstable at speed. Otherwise it would be a very entertaining and memorable ride, lol
@@rccoul Very much $400K for the supercharged godzilla engine and prerunner suspension build done to a level it would actually be reliable bombing through a desert. You are deluding your self if such an extreme setup is close to affordable. Sure you could cheap out and build a mall crawler.
The average car lasts 12 these days then it’s dead. I think they are talking about 10-15 years before upgrades. Their batteries are designed to be quickly upgraded that’s a big theme in EV conversion.
Exactly 😂😂😂😂 he has no clients that’s why he’s trying to sell these vehicles on LinkedIn 😂🤣 doesn’t even have enough funds to do proper sales marketing
Almost half a million dollars, but I'm curious if a vehicle like this will ever appreciate like the classic ones have. I'm guessing it won't but if you have the money to buy one it will be cause you love it. Will any electric cars ever be collectible.Will people be able to rebuild battery powered cars like ICE vehicles. Gonna be interesting to see
$450k and look at the $50 wheels!! What is going on and why is Top Gear promoting this?! Top Gear is not what it used to be and it's sad because a lot of my love from cars came from watching their content back in the day.
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 TH-cam 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.
It’s cool but it’s more of a show piece with the whole range anxiety thing… perfect for a nearby beach run but y’aint going too far down a trail. Hopefully battery tech improves but it ain’t there yet.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can find one of these for $6,000. Drop at 351 in Cleveland and it's. Do some restoration for 10K and be on the road for less than $30,000. I get it though. Someone has to start the revolution for converting gas vehicles. I don't want one but I get it. This is an innovative and it's going to cost more in the beginning. 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. Assuming that's what they want.
I can get on board with everything including the price except for the range. And im sure the quoted 230 miles is in ideal circumstances. 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
Anyone can build a car for that much money, the people who will make the money for the people who can sell the car and make the car for so cheap that your average man can go out and buy one tomorrow, not in the next hundred years😢
$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

Incredible restomod car for sure. However, without airbags etc, one frontal crash with this car and you're as good as dead. It's the biggest downside to classic/old cars. They have close to no safety features.
I wish modern car interiors looked more like these restomods.

It's nice to see the personality of the original Bronco, I love those lines! The attention to detail in the interior is fantastic!
I love this Bronco much more than I expected. Beautiful updates, classic proportions, and a sleek modernized interior. Dang. I want one!
I just love this design team who know exactly what they are doing. Even it's not for everyone, it definitely excels in its own way.

$450,000? C'mon man, they could have at least given it 1500 horsepower via an a/c motor at each wheel and called it a day for $250k.

450K? 😂😂😂
Props to the dialogue editor on this one!
The one question I would ask: does it have any part from the original Bronco?
For the woping price of the car i expect at least a set of good alloy weels, i guess they need to cut costs in a 450 k car😂😂😂
I love those wheels! Modern wheels ruin restomods WAAY too often. Fits the less is more approach, too.
Modem high end wheels get trashed on an SUV. The understated wheels is cool it has enough bling.
Electric classics is awesome

What materials would the designers use today?
They literally make the Bronco today and its not carbon Friber.
They don't use cheap stamps steel panels anymore.
It's cool, but way too expensive; and they really didn't need to make electric
The thing is very obviously designed to be an EV from the outset.
Why not make it electric?
No airbag?
Nope
