Lynx Motors develops electric versions of famous classic cars in a modern interpretation. For example, the company acquired a number of assets from Matech Concepts, which developed the Ford GT for Le Mans and FIA GT1 competitions. Specifically, Lynx says they acquired “several surviving 2005 Ford GT chassis” as well as “original body panel molds.”
These components have been used to create the GT1e, which has an “updated exterior design.”
The company was tight-lipped about details, but said the car will feature LED lighting fixtures, as well as a unique livery created by Ford designer Camilo Pardo. In addition, judging by the photo, the car has a front splitter made of carbon fiber, and a massive rear wing.
The company also said that the car has a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system.
It is important that the car will have a four-motor electric power plant with a total capacity of 2,400 hp. Lynx claims it will allow the GT1e to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.5 seconds and reach an estimated top speed of around 515 km/h. The company also claims that the model is “aimed at overcoming the maximum speed for production cars.”
It is planned that the electric car will have a 100 kWh Amprius battery and a range of up to 402 km. It is also planned that the model will use the North American charging standard (NACS).
