Video: driving the Zero Labs twin-motor Ford Bronco

This is the pure electric Zero Labs Ford Bronco Carbon Edition, a vintage Bronco with a next-gen electric drivetrain. There's a 100kWh battery on board, a claimed 235-mile range, dual motors for all-wheel drive and a not-inconsequential 600bhp.

The suspension has been junked and replaced with the very best independent gear, the brakes now work rather than lightly suggesting slowdown and every nut, bolt and washer has been replaced.

And that’s not even the special bit. A traditional Bronco would be pressed steel, but this one's made of lightweight carbon fibre. Naturally such attention to detail doesn’t come cheap - the Carbon Edition weighs in at upwards of $450,000 dollars. Which would make anyone cough.

Top Gear magazine’s Tom Ford heads to the West Coast to meet up with the creator of Zero Labs, Adam Roe, to take this rather special Bronco for a spin.
