Just as we thought that the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT would be the fastest version of the new electric SUV, the carmaker announced a new, even more powerful variant. The new Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition is the latest addition to the range, offering 480 HP and 860 Nm of torque, an increase of 21 HP and 22 lb-ft over the standard GT model.
Ford targets a 0-60 mph time of 3.5
seconds for the new Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, as well as an
EPA-estimated driving range of 378 km. The battery pack is the same
88 kWh unit as the standard GT.
The new Mustang Mach-E GT Performance
Edition offers “more than just added ‘oomph’”, according to Ford, as it
features bigger 19-inch front brakes with red-painted Brembo calipers, a set of
20-inch machined-face wheels shod in Pirelli summer tires, and MagneRide
adaptive dampers which further sharpen up the handling.
In addition, the fastest variant of the
Mustang Mach-E comes with front Ford Performance seats dressed in what the
company calls ‘Performance Gray ActiveX’ material with metallic stitching and
unique Miko perforated and reflective inserts, while the instrument panel
features a unique aluminum applique.
Ford will offer the new Mustang Mach-E GT
and GT Performance Edition in signature color options, including Cyber Orange
Metallic Tri-Coat, Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted
Clearcoat, Star White Metallic Tri-Coat, Grabber Blue Metallic, Shadow Black,
Iconic Silver Metallic and Space White Metallic.
Customers who have already reserved the
Mustang Mach-E GT will get the opportunity to add the Performance Edition
package in the spring of 2021. The new Mustang Mach-E GT and GT Performance
Edition will hit the market late next summer, while prospective customers can
reserve theirs through Ford’s website.
