In 2020, when Ford was still whetting the appetite and generating interest in its first production electric vehicle, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, you might recall that it made a little noise – and a lot of smoke – with a unique pattern. , a four-wheel-drive “demonstration vehicle” called the Mach-E 1400. Driven at various events that year by drifting ace Vaughn Gittin Jr, the car’s mission was to “present the art of the possible for an electric car. With seven engines and almost 1400 hp, it certainly did.
Compared to prototypes, of course, production cars were born more out of the art of realizability and commercial viability. So our question this week is whether Ford’s high-end, on-road performance version, the Mach-E, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GTcan follow in the wheel tracks of this 2020 prototype – or if it will fade in comparison.
The Mach-E GT arrives in UK showrooms just around 15 months after the first right-hand drive examples of its sibling derivatives. Its price makes it a bit cheaper than its high-end branded performance rivals, although it’s not cheap enough to afford
so that there are excuses if it falls short of a driver’s car. It’s a fast Ford after all, the first zero-emissions example of our electrified era, and it’s a Mustang to boot.

Some very talented rivals are already priced a bit too close for comfort, namely those from Porsche, BMW and Tesla, while competition from Kia and Volkswagen’s brand ID is coming soon.
