You may recall a spy video from a couple of weeks ago showing a Mach-E, or at least part of a Mach-E, doing everything possible to destroy your tires. In this case, we use the term spy video very freely, because the clip felt less like a sneaky trip to a closed test area and more like a staged encounter. Now, we have a Twitter post from Ford Performance mocking a Mach-E … um … destroying its tires. Coincidence?
The timing of that spy video and this teaser is definitely convenient, to say the least. The photo itself may offer some clues, as the background looks somewhat similar to the video. For the record, the location was set at the North Carolina Center for Automotive Research; a place that has been visited by Ford in the past. For that matter, RTR Vehicles also has links to location, and RTR released a teaser of its own a few days ago suggesting something crazy with the Mach-E. So what’s going on?
It remains to be seen, but we don’t have to wait long. Clearly, the antics are underway with Ford Performance and RTR, because both of them progress points to July 21 as doomsday. That is tomorrow from the publication of this publication, but all we have to follow to obtain information is what we see in this photo. And what do we see? Tire smoke, a lot, and the unmistakable front clip of a Mustang Mach-E. Okay, this version is a bit more advanced than the typical street model, as we see a very prominent divider with plenty of fins and flared front fenders.
You barely see a Ford Performance windshield banner, and Mach-E is stamped on the hood. There’s something else on the hood afterward, but we can’t tell it apart. It appears to be a number, which could be range or power. We take a chance and say that this car doesn’t go over range, because it’s emitting enough tire smoke to create its own microclimate.
Any ideas on what this Mach-E could do? You better tell us now, because tomorrow comes, the mystery will be solved.
