‘Then this is also possible’
Whoever says ‘Ford Mustang’ does not immediately think of a rally cannon. Because your associations with the name Mustang no longer play any role since the electric Ford Mustang Mach-E existed, Ford is presenting a kind of rally version based on that Mach-E at Goodwood. And it’s still in production!
It’s a different angle, a rally version of a ‘Ford Mustang’. It is therefore the fully electric Ford Mustang Mach-E, which with its high carriage and large ground clearance is already more suitable for the unpaved road than any other / real (cross out what is not desired for you) Mustang.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally is shown during the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but still in a kind of camouflage-like print. Specifications are not there yet either, so we have to make do with what we can see on the pictures. That is a Ford Mustang Mach-E with the bumpers and ‘grille’ of the lightning-fast Mustang Mach-E GT, which suggests that the 487 hp powertrain of that version was also used. There are of course also differences with the GT. For example, the Rally has a considerably larger roof spoiler and stands on special rally wheels with coarser tires.
The lighting nerd who writes this article also notes that the car shown has the red burning ‘side markers’ at the back that are missing on the European version of the Mach-E. It therefore seems to be an American version, but that will not remain the case. Ford indicates that the Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally will actually be available, both in the US and in Europe. The brand does not describe the Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally as a real rally gun, but as a rally-inspired model. What else he can do, when he can do that and what he costs is not yet known, so we will come back to that shortly.
