DEARBORN, Mich., June 30, 2020 – The all-electric Mustang Mach-E is not a Mustang in name only, and we’ll let the horses do the talking.
Order banks are now open in the US, and reserve holders are now invited to convert their reserves into official orders for the latest addition to the Mustang stable.
Ford is also confirming the updated performance specs following recent news on charging and driver assistance technology, adding to a convenient and stress-free Mach-E ownership experience with the anticipated excitement of Mustang. Specifically:
- The extended-range four-wheel drive Mach-E will deliver 346 horsepower / 258 kilowatts and 428 pound-feet. of torque, above previous estimates of 332 horsepower / 240 kilowatts and 417 pound-feet, directly from the door, with a target time of 0-60 mph in the mid-range of 5 seconds *
- Extended range rear-wheel drive models will produce 290 horsepower / 216 kilowatts and 317 pound-feet, compared to 282 horsepower / 210 kilowatts and 306 pound-feet *.
- Standard range four-wheel drive models will pump 266 horsepower / 198 kilowatts and 428 pound-feet, compared to 255 horsepower / 190 kilowatts and 417 pound-feet *.

“We remain dedicated to delivering on the promise of the Mustang name,” said Ron Heiser, chief program engineer for Mustang Mach-E. “These better-than-estimated performance numbers show that our team is squeezing every last performance out of this vehicle to deliver not only the Mustang style but also the Mustang soul.”
The Mustang’s style and performance is what drew Detroit businessman Keith Simmons to pre-order a new Mach-E. With two Porsches in his garage, Simmons likes elegant, upscale styling with a strong power punch. There was something about a fully electric Mustang Mach-E GT in Shadow Black that called it.
“I’ve been thinking about going electric for a while,” said Simmons. “I like to be first on the block to get something new. Mach-E has convinced me to jump into all-electric; I saw an ad coming out and I especially liked the style, so I made a deposit to buy one and can’t wait to get it in my hands. “
Ford engineers have used 3D simulations, the same tool that Ford Performance uses to develop race cars, to ensure that Mach-E has the driving quality and driving dynamics expected of a Mustang. In addition to virtual hot laps, engineers tested the Mustang Mach-E’s four-wheel drive system in extremely cold and dangerous conditions at the Smithers Winter Testing Center in northern Michigan.
