Kindred Motorworks introduces its exclusive Black ICE Bronco restomod with an eye-catching all-black design.
Kindred's Black ICE Bronco: A Modern Classic
Kindred Motorworks has unveiled the Black ICE Edition of its Bronco restomod, offering a rare combination of luxury and rugged capability. Limited to just five units, this special-edition SUV boasts a striking all-black aesthetic, furthering Kindred's reputation in vintage restorations. From its gloss-black paint to its custom interior touches, the Black ICE Bronco is a unique build in a sea of Bronco restomods..
Performance Meets Prestige
Under the hood, the Black ICE Bronco is powered by a third-generation Ford Coyote V8 engine. Delivering an impressive 460 horsepower, the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth performance. To ensure off-road readiness, Kindred Motorworks equips the Bronco with a Dana 44 front differential, a Ford 9-inch rear differential, and an Atlas 2 transfer case. Other upgrades include Chromoly axles and 35-spline extreme-duty rear axles. Despite these robust features, it’s likely these models will remain garage queens rather than tackling treacherous trails.
The Design: Stealth and Sophistication
The Black ICE Edition stands out with its "black-on-black" design, featuring 18-inch Method forged aluminum wheels and matching badging. The interior complements this stealthy exterior, incorporating black wood trim and custom Black ICE Edition build plates. This attention to detail elevates the vehicle's appeal, making it a luxurious option in the restomod market.
Price and Exclusivity
Priced at $214,000, the Black ICE Bronco sits on the higher end of the restomod spectrum but still falls short of the astronomical figures seen in competitors like Gateway Bronco's Luxe-GT, which starts at $400,000. While Kindred’s pricing strategy aims to deliver premium builds at a slightly more accessible level, this Black Friday launch proves that exclusivity and craftsmanship come at a significant cost.
A Vision of Modern Classics
Kindred Motorworks emphasizes combining vintage aesthetics with modern reliability. The company aims to remove the typical worries associated with classic car ownership by streamlining production and leveraging advanced technology. As their first special edition, the Black ICE Bronco embodies Kindred’s vision: a rugged, reliable classic with contemporary flair.
