The Ford Mustang Mach E GT Shows Ford Isn't Messing Around with Performance EV's - Two Takes

The new Mustang Mach-E GT is the high-performance version of Ford's already succesful first venture into the EV marketplace. With 480 HP and 634 lb/ft of torque, AWD, and magnetic ride suspension, you know it's going to be quick. And with styling updates, better seats, and new materials, it's got visual and practical improvements to boot. But at nearly $70,000 as tested, will Matt have regrets over the "regular" Mach-E he already owns?

How is Matt liking his personal Mach-E? Find out here!

What is the Mach-E's real world range? Find out here!

NEW SHIRTS!

“They are healthy people” lmfao man you kill me

[TheBucketOfTruth]

They should have a "Bareback" drive mode option for when you disable all the stability and traction controls.

I hope Ford is listening because that upgraded seats, mag ride, smaller wheels, higher profile tire setup is exactly what I'd want as well. And YES, makers of EVs, STOP putting frequently used functions into touch screens! Sure it's cost effective and (for now) it's perceived to be high end but it's bad human factors for driving.

I love that when you edited this with the reverse shot you left the car going backwards at the 4:20 mark.

[ak]

Good sense of speed in this one. Can tell you're really hustling it.

[rhekman]

12:20 "The first week in this car, you're gonna be jumping off the line like Fast & Furious"
Oh... so like a Mustang driver leaving cars & coffee.

The flat plane crank quip stabbed me right in the heart🤣 i adore e92m so naturally id love to own a voodoo someday. But ill definitely be sending this to all my friends

[relaxingtravel-LosAngeles]

Nice job Ford.. now sell them w out visiting the dealer and haggle price and add ons.

Visiting the dealer has become the least appealing part of the transaction.

[MegaFPVFlyer]

12:05 Tesla seems to get around this by having the first ~50% of the throttle gently mapped for everyday driving, then at a certain point you hit a wall where it just goes ballistic

[Davedough]

THIS was the review I've been waiting for so long to see. Thanks guys! My GTPE spec'd exactly like that one you just reviewed is currently being loaded on a truck on its way to me from the railyard. I'm SO excited!

[QueensGTO_Viper]

Finally, a true throwback to what the original Mustang was all about.

[etalsnart]

Excellent review! Totally agree, AWD premium with a MagneRide damping option would be excellent! The hp for RWD was possibly a typo, here are the various premium model ratings:
Standard Range Batt RWD - 317 ft-lbs, 266 hp
Extended Range Batt RWD - 317 ft-lbs, 290 hp
Standard Range Batt AWD - 428 ft-lbs, 266 hp
Extended range Batt AWD - 428 ft-lbs, 346 hp

[wbwright]

another great vehicle review. i still think you are both the best auto review team on YT. just fantastic information.

[cayennepeppa]

Hmmm. So the future of a Mustang is an SUV? Question, instead of a generic car review, what do you guys think of this car having the Mustang badge? Does it ride like a Mustang? Does it feel like a Mustang? Do you feel that little extra as you get behind the wheel? Do you get that sense of exhilaration as you hit the throttle? Does it feel like a GT? Otherwise, it's just a good EV with decent range. Crap! I'm finally getting my S550 and will be getting an S650 before the ICE's are gone.

Zach, a Model Y Perf is $62k. Only options are a other colors for $1k and FSD (Scam) for $10k.

[EstorilEM]

When will they just drop the "Mustang" and call it a Ford Mach-e like everyone else does?

[seanparsons]

Big wheels look cool but a couple inches makes a huge difference in the performance and ride quality you can eke out of a car with a little more tire!

[cheggmen]

that BMW at 10:00 got the coolest drive by shot of all time.

[dshow]

I’ve always thought “ground speed” was in homage to the P51.

[zoltrix]

How with all the software are you not able to adjust the suspension/steering/throttle independently?
