Ford Performance, to demonstrate the versatility of its electric engines, which can deliver 285 horsepower, equipped the F-100 Eluminator pickup with the first off-the-shelf electric engines.
Ford Performance Parts, a traditional distributor of accessories and parts for car customization in the United States, is also focusing on electrification. The brand launched its first off-the-shelf electric engines at the end of last year. The component was named Eluminator and, at the time of launch, Ford noted that the first batch sold out very quickly. Those interested in purchasing the new powertrains, which can be used for electrifying classic cars, pickups, and SUVs, priced at around US$ 3,900 at retail, must now join the waiting list.
Ford Electric Engines Deliver 285 Horsepower
To showcase the versatility of the new powertrains, where each can deliver a power of 285 horsepower and a torque of 44 kgfm, Ford developed the F-100 Eluminator pickup. The model is based on a 1978 F-100, equipped with all-wheel drive and two electric engines, totaling 486 horsepower and a torque of 88 kgfm, the same numbers delivered by a Mach-E GT Performance Edition, launched last year, which features electric engines similar to those of the pickup.
Externally, the retro F-100 Eluminator pickup features 19-inch aluminum wheels, a unique gray paint with copper accents, and high-performance tires 275/45R19.

Ford Announces Arrival of Three New Electric Cars
Ford detailed the strategy that will lead the brand to sell only electric cars in Europe by 2030. The first step towards sustainability will be taken with the arrival of 3 new battery models and 4 new fully electric commercial vehicles. In its plan, the company aims to sell over 600,000 electric cars in Europe by 2026.
The first car to hit the market will be a medium 5-seater SUV, which will be developed at a factory that will serve as a true electrification hub in Europe and, due to US$ 2 billion in investments, will produce 1.2 million electric vehicles in the coming years.
In the same location, another electric crossover will also be developed in 2024, which will have a sportier profile. It is expected that, in this case, the foundation on which it will be built is the MEB platform, where the electric cars of the Volkswagen group are developed.
