Electric restoration specialist ICON unveils its initial all-electric customization of the Bronco.
In a groundbreaking move, Los Angeles-based custom shop ICON 4x4 has unveiled its first-ever all-electric, limited edition vintage Ford Bronco - the "Blue Star". This pioneering project combines vintage aesthetics with modern electric drivetrain innovation, offering a unique blend of nostalgia, sustainability, and modern performance.
Known for restoring and reimagining classic off-road vehicles with cutting-edge technology and design, ICON 4x4's latest creation stands out as a testament to their commitment to innovation. The "Blue Star" represents an exciting departure from traditional internal combustion engines, embracing a fully electric propulsion system.
The "Blue Star" is a limited edition vehicle, with only 10 examples produced. Each client works directly with ICON 4x4's founder, Jonathan Ward, to ensure a bespoke experience, ensuring no two examples are the same. The interior design is customizable, with the "Blue Star" featuring white leather and more blue accents, while the exterior retains the classic vintage Ford Bronco look.
The all-electric Bronco is equipped with a 105kWh battery, delivering over 500 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque. It boasts an estimated range of upwards of 175 miles and can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds.
