Ford Mustang Mach-E GT vs GT Performance Edition

The Mustang Mach-E GT and GT Performance editition are at the top of the Ford EV food chain. There is a $5,000 difference between the two models. We compare them side by side and we also pit them against each other to see which one is faster. The results my surprise you.

Both vehicles in this video are 2021 models.

If you're thinking about buying a Mach-E, you need to watch this video.

All tests conducted on closed course.

Seems like the the minor time difference is the gtpe wheels slipping at the start. Those summer tires just arnt gripping in that cold weather. Any version of the mache will be a fun car to drive, but gtpe definitely has the best styling.

Test should have been done fully charged. You would notice the different torque better.

[SuperchargedJester]

Id like to see the test done again at a higher state of charge on both vehicles.

[mayologuerrero]

I heard you say bridled mode improves "throttle response", can it still be called that since you know, there is no throttle?

[crsp]

Over the years those auto adjustment suspension systems always fail in the long term costing owner a butt load of money. ie range rover, cadillac, dentley,

[euelvi]

You need to learn what the current state of charge mean. Try it at 100% thats where the difference is They are identical under 80% state of charge because of the voltage output. Look at the graphs of voltage output per % state of charge.

Hey Erik, before you go to the track ask your dealer if they'd be willing to update your battery software with the new charge curve. Mach-E owners are getting a sneak peek of it just from regular service visits before it's sent over-the-air to everyone else.

What benefits does the different front motor on the Performance Edition bring? I think this shows that Ford could have just offered a GT, and then the addons that come with the GT-PE could have just been options. All Season or Summer tires? OK. Want tulip or hairpin rims? Good choice. Magneride? Check. Seat option A, B, or C? Gotcha.

That would have left room for more track-related improvements, either through a "Performance Package" or an actual "Performance Edition" that doesn't shut itself down for those that are apt to push its limits to that extent. Not everyone wants/needs to have a car that can win at the autocross or be fun at the track, but it sounds like those Magneride dampers could be nice for everyday driving! I'd take those along with the hairpin rims and the 245's on all-seasons, or give me the summer tires, and a set of take-off Premium wheels with winter tires. Maybe someday...

They are pigs under 60% state of charge. Look at the dash while sitting still, you'll see the "prison bars" which means the software has pulled power due to the SOC. The lowrr the SOC, the more bars you see. Its even noticeably slower under 70%.

Is it worth it now in the end 2024 to buy used Mach-E 2022 orange for (with tax) $ 51K CAD = $ 37K US?

[dongorth]

If it wasnt a MUSTANG it wouldnt look as GREAT as it does.

[LarsAgerbk]

none of these cars have launch-control?

[SumUnicus]

Buut hey, the Performance did slipped it's tyres before it got away.
On a better surface the performance will probably kick as 😁
I can imagine that the Performance has more kick in the start :)

[carculturenation]

to me if you dont want to call it a mustang then dont. but me being a huge mustang fan i feelpeople shouldn't be so but hurt when there are so many variants of the Mustang to choose from
If mustang is its own brand then there is more variant than some car brands have models.

Owning a MME GT non performance and racing my buddies GTPE they are literally beside one another to 70mph. Our friends liked our MME GT when we took delivery in Oct and ordered a 22 GT non PE on Halloween- they picked it up Sat. My wife and I rode in the back (never had in ours) and on seemingly smooth roads on all my other cars, including a lowered 124 Spider Abarth, I found the MME GT non performance ride super bouncy! I don’t notice it when driving as much - funny I didn’t want the PE specially cause it had Mag ride which I have had in 2 other cars and they both had issues. I also note on the MME forums there seem to be a number of faults with Mag on the MME GTPE too. If I keep mine past 1 year, I will see what suspension improvements I can make

[Boomtendotw]

The gt performance wheels look like a horses head to me or a galloping horses feet

[didiermejia]

I can conccur with the firm ride quality on the non performance GT. Very stiff, too stiff for a family car, if I can't fit it I'll probably be trading mine for a Ionic 5. I also have a GT350 and that has a bit more smoother ride than this. I wish ford just made magnaride standard on all GT models.

[thejohnnerparty]

Two different cars, but I would llike to know the difference in handling between your Supra & the Mach-e GT performance.

[dansburns]

So, you can pay an extra $5000-$6000 for the same performance and hardly any difference in ride quality? Got it. Glad I got the regular GT and kept the money in my bank account.

[Boomtendotw]

It isn't a mustang. It's a mustang mach e. That's the full name. Lots of different mustang-x
