Ford’s electric car engineers go crazy with 1,400hp Mustang Mach-E

Ford and RTR didn’t design the Mustang Mach-E 1400 just to turn tires into smoke, but that’s something this 1,400hp electric vehicle can do all too well.

It’s a technology demonstrator that uses seven electric motors to go really fast in a straight line, around corners, or even in a drift.

As the name suggests, it’s based on the forthcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle, which goes into production this year.

Instead of being optimized for range, the Mach-E 1400 has been developed to do this for an hour, then recharge for an hour, then do this again for another hour.

That massive rear wing is just one of the aerodynamic elements that gives this EV more than a ton of downforce at 160mph.

It started with a Mustang Mach-E body in white.

Then RTR and Ford added the high downforce bits. They’re mostly made from carbon fiber, but the hood is made from plant fibers.

OK, it’s a lot more stripped out than the Mustang Mach-E we rode in last year, but it uses the same digital instrument display and infotainment screen.
