Mach-E Rally

When you think of a Ford off-road vehicle, the Ford Ranger, Bronco or F-150 Raptor quickly comes to mind. A Mustang is probably not a model you think of. Let alone an electric Mustang. Ford wants to change that. This year, the brand is introducing the Mustang Mach-E Rally, the first-ever Mustang to hold its own both on asphalt and in mud. With this new member of the Mustang Mach-E family, Ford is taking a bold step: it is the brand’s first electric car that takes its inspiration from rallying.

Mach-E GT

The sporty SUV throws high hopes with a boosted version of the Mustang Mach-E GT’s powertrain, equipped with two electric motors. Ford is aiming for at least 950 Nm of system torque and a system output of 358 kW (487 hp). In the bottom lies a battery with 91 kWh capacity, good for 510 kilometers of range.

To ensure off-road performance, the Mustang Mach-E Rally stands 20 millimeters higher in the air than the Mach-E GT. In addition, this Rally version features specially tuned springs, MagneRide shock absorbers and 385-millimeter Brembo brake discs with red calipers hidden behind white 19-inch rally-style alloy wheels.

With off-road use in mind, Ford finishes the underbody with protective plates around the front and rear electric motors. In addition, a protective film layer was applied to the door panels and wheel arches to prevent paint damage. The Mustang Mach-E Rally also features a large rear wing, model-specific front spoiler, black painted roof and rally-inspired fog lights and two racing stripes. For all that beauty, Ford is asking a minimum of 65,200 euros. Delivery from the fourth quarter of this year. The price list can be found here.
