Ever since the original Mustang took the world by storm in 1964, it quickly came to represent the best of the American spirit: Freedom, progress, fast performance and a touch of rebellion. Now, Mustang is ready to reimagine these ideas for a powerful electric future, with space for customers’ growing needs, all-weather capability, and innovative, connected technology solutions with secure over-the-air updates that continue to improve your vehicle.
It’s a move that will upset some purists, but it makes sense on many levels too as Ford knew it wasn’t going to lure EV buyers out of Tesla showrooms with just another boring SUV. The Mustang Mach-E promises to be a lot more than that, with estimated outputs of 342kW and 830Nm and a 0-100km/h sprint time of less than five seconds for the GT-badged performance version. Ford will also offer an extended range model that produces around 248kW and 565Nm. The vehicle will be available in both all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive configurations, in the latter case offering a range of around 595km between charges, on the WLTP test cycle.
The Mach-E is built around a new electric vehicle platform that places the batteries on the floor between the axles for optimal weight distribution. It’s a full five seater and like the Teslas, it features a conventional rear boot as well as a ‘frunk’ where the engine would have been located in a normal car.
While there will never be any true replacement for the lusty soundtrack of a good old fashioned V8, Ford is promising an exhilarating driving experience complete with unique driving dynamics and sounds. It will also offer three unique driving modes - Whisper, Engage and Unbridled - each providing a “distinct sensory experience” according to Ford.
