Yes sorry, sloppy copying on my part but I’m willing to wait and see how  the actual drive tests go with regards to performance against BYD Shark 6. I have a feeling that even with a depleted battery, the PHEV Ranger may still perform well over the quarter mile due to it acting like a hybrid that only needs a small battery to keep working properly.    I dunno, our motoring journalists look to be declaring the PHEV Ranger a failure completely on the derated EB power and torque figures, maybe they eat their words..  

Agree completely, which is why I asked assuming that going from 277 total HP to only 100 electric HP could be a letdown, and if so, providing even more ICE-based power will make difference even more noticeable to driver.  The last thing anyone wants is for a PHEV vehicle to feel so sluggish on EV-only power that they don’t end using the plug-in capability and drive mostly as an HEV.   There are obviously two sides to this argument, but long-term solution is for PHEVs to have nearly as much power when operating as an EV so performance doesn’t suffer.  The Toyota Prius PHEV for example has much more electric-motor power, and is lighter than a Ranger, yet 0-60 times go from 6.5 for hybrid to 11.7 seconds for electric-only operation.  That’s adequate but drivers today wouldn’t want to accelerate much slower than that.  Don’t know how much slower a heavier vehicle (Ranger or Mustang sedan) would be if powered by only 100 electric HP.  Looking forward to seeing Ranger PHEV comprehensive test data.

Ford Otosan is small compared to Daimler Truck, Volvo, Traton, and Iveco.

Adequate, maybe. Exciting, no.

It would also make a ton of sense for this mustang raptor everyone keeps talking about. 

If anything I’d expect the Mustang to use a system similar to what the Corsair used or uses-a separate motor(s) to drive the front wheels.  AWD would be a major requirement for a sedan Mustang that would be more of a daily driver than say the coupe which would be normally a second or third car.   

Absolutely beautiful! Would love to see more photos in a separate thread/topic.

Looks so sweet - love the red interior!  I have two 1969s - one is Royal Maroon with a 428SCJ - don't know which axle it originally came with, however it's a C6 auto that I am converting over to a four speed top loader.  The other has a 351C-4V in it (not original).

As a PHEV the truck (or whatever vehicle powertrain is installed in) will be required to operate in EV mode, which is limited to 75 kW or ~ 100 HP.  If driver was OK with 75 kW most of the time, wouldn’t 207 kW seem more than adequate?  For what it’s worth, at 2,500 RPM it makes 245 HP which is more than my V10 at that same RPM.  

jpd80, those numbers are impressive regardless, particularly for a mid-size truck rated to tow 3,500 kg trailers.  The higher power from electric motor compared to original 35 kW in PowerBoost pays off big time at lower RPMs where many truck drivers prefer to operate; though not sure how that same powertrain would feel in a sports car.  Expect Ford could tune differently.   By the way, the numbers above don’t add up because power contribution from electric motor would have to exceed its maximum rating.  Ford specs show System Max Torque is at 2500 RPM, which happens to match electric motor rating.
