Mustang Mach-E Rally Debuts Based On Mach-E GT Powertrain.

Ford has just showed off a new version of the electric Ford Mustang Mach-E called the Mustang Mach-E Rally. Here’s what’s new.

Rally-Inspired Power

The Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally is not your average EV. It’s a rally-inspired powerhouse that pushes the boundaries of electric vehicle technology. Built on the foundation of the Mustang Mach-E GT powertrain, this beast boasts a dual-motor layout designed to deliver a jaw-dropping 650 lb.-ft. of torque and 480 horsepower. With this kind of power, off-road adventures have never been more electrifying.

Off-Road Prowess

To conquer dirt roads and rough terrains, the Mustang Mach-E Rally features a raised suspension, lifted by 20 millimeters compared to the Mustang Mach-E GT. This unique setup includes specially tuned springs and MagneRide shocks, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride even on the most challenging surfaces. With 385-millimeter front brake rotors equipped with red-painted Brembo®-branded calipers, you can trust in its stopping power.

Impressive Range and Fast Charging

Equipped with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery boasting a 91 kWh usable capacity, the Mustang Mach-E Rally targets an EPA-estimated range of 250 miles. Plus, it’s designed for quick and convenient charging, capable of going from 10 to 80% charge in approximately 36.5 minutes on a DC Fast Charger. This means more time for thrilling adventures and less time waiting around.

Rally-Ready Wheels and Protection

The Mustang Mach-E Rally’s gloss white 19-inch rally-style alloy wheels pay homage to Ford’s rally heritage. These wheels are paired with 235/55 R19 Michelin CrossClimate2 tires, ensuring excellent grip on loose surfaces. To safeguard your off-road expeditions, the vehicle comes with protective shielding for the front and rear motors, door cladding, and fender arches, minimizing the risk of paint chips. Dealer-installed styled mud flaps are also available to reduce debris spray.

Innovative Drive Mode

Experience the thrill of off-road driving like never before with the first-ever RallySport Drive Mode from Ford. This mode enhances maneuverability, allowing for controlled slides and precise handling on loose terrain. The Mustang Mach-E Rally, paired with its specialized tires, also excels in on-road conditions, including snow and slippery surfaces.

Cutting-Edge Technology

The Mustang Mach-E Rally is equipped with Ford’s advanced technology, including the optional Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system. BlueCruise 1.3 offers a more engaged driving experience with Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Repositioning, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride on highways.

Rigorous Testing

Before making its debut, the Mustang Mach-E Rally underwent extensive testing on an all-new rally course at Ford’s Michigan Proving Ground. This course was meticulously designed to mimic real-world conditions, guaranteeing the vehicle’s durability and performance.

Striking Design

The Mustang Mach-E Rally’s bold design is a head-turner, featuring a dramatic rear spoiler inspired by the Focus® RS, contrasting accents, and a unique front splitter. It’s available in a range of vibrant colors, including Grabber Blue, Shadow Black, Eruption Green, and eye-catching Grabber Yellow, with extra cost options like Star White and Glacier Gray.

Interior Comfort and Style

Inside the Mustang Mach-E Rally, you’ll find a perfect blend of comfort and style, complementing its iconic white wheels. Gloss white accents adorn the dash and steering wheel, while distinctive Ford-designed performance seats feature gloss white seatbacks, creating a sporty and inviting interior.
