Ford is building a rally version of the Mach-E

Ford is revving up the excitement for all you gearheads out there with the announcement of the Mustang Mach-E Rally. Yes, you heard it right – they’re taking their electric SUV and giving it a rugged, off-road makeover that’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping.

Picture this: the Mach-E Rally is like the lovechild of a Mustang and an off-road beast. It’s got more power than your morning coffee, with a whopping 480HP and 650 lb.-ft. of torque targeted. That’s right; it’s not just an electric vehicle; it’s an electric powerhouse. This is the kind of ride that makes you forget about gas-guzzlers and embraces the future of high-performance electric vehicles.

But it’s not just about power. Ford is raising the bar (and the suspension) with a 20mm boost in ride height compared to the Mach-E GT. They’ve also thrown in specialty-tuned springs and MagneRide shocks to make sure you’re floating over rough terrain. And for those who want to make a statement on the road (or off it), the Mach-E Rally comes with Shelby-like racing stripes – because why should sports cars have all the fun?

Now, let’s talk tech. Ford isn’t holding back when it comes to the interior. You’ll find their latest BlueCruise hands-free driving tech, Lane Change Assist, In-Lane Repositioning, and more. This isn’t just a rally car; it’s a tech-lover’s dream. Plus, with Android Auto and CarPlay support, you can stay connected to your favorite tunes and apps while you conquer the trails.

But what truly sets the Mach-E Rally apart is its “RallySport Drive Mode.” Ford’s given you the power to get your slide on with added yaw control, a linear throttle response, and aggressive damping for those hairpin turns. It’s like having a rally co-driver whispering “faster, faster” in your ear, minus the nagging.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But what about charging?” Well, fear not. The Mach-E Rally is equipped with a 91kWh battery that can be juiced up from 10 to 80 percent in just 36 minutes on a DC fast charger. That means more time tearing up the trails and less time waiting around.

And for the off-road purists, Ford hasn’t forgotten about you. They’ve thrown in all the essentials, from a protective shield for the motors to a front recovery point with an included hook. So, if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, you can get winched out with style.

Now, the big question – the price tag. Ford is aiming for a starting MSRP of around $65,000 in the US. Sure, it’s not pocket change, but when you consider the performance, tech, and off-road prowess packed into this electrifying machine, it’s a steal.

So, there you have it – the Mustang Mach-E Rally, a fusion of power, style, and off-road capability. Whether you’re a die-hard Mustang fan or just looking for your next adventure, this electric rally car is sure to rev up your excitement. Stay tuned for its launch in early 2024, and prepare to embrace the future of off-road fun.
