Don't worry, it moves under its own power—just a different *kind* of power.
would have rumbled along the streets—or, hopefully, the trails—with a straight-six or a more powerful 302-cubic-inch V-8. After paying half a buck per gallon of gasoline, the happy driver would have compressed the clutch, turned the key to fire up the carbureted machine, and carried on with their day. When the driver pushes the dash-mounted start button on the old-timey Bronco you see here, there's no rumble of an engine and an itching left foot finds no clutch.
Like The Fuelie Electric , the next-gen LUXE-GT Electric also uses a 540-volt EV drivetrain with a 220-kW electric motor. The Fuelie Electric started at $260,000, while the new LUXE-GT Electric starts at $380,000.Another focal point of the Gateway Bronco LUXE-GT Electric Classic Ford Bronco is its custom JRide Electronic Ride Control Suspension.
With lightning quick acceleration backed by suspension that can handle the thrust, Gateway Bronco made sure the rest of the vintage electric Bronco was modernized to handle the extra demand. For example, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes help stop the rig, which rolls on 33-inch Toyo tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels. The whole thing sits atop a brand new chassis that has been completely powder coated.
Show this Gateway Bronco LUXE-GT Electric Ford Bronco to someone with more money than sense, and maybe you can find yourself in the passenger seat. Don't try to convince any purists, though, because they'll likely hate the whole idea and whip out pictures of their early Bronco—or the one they wish they owned. We think the whole idea is thrilling, and the execution is beyond reproach.
