Mustang Mach-E Goes Full NASCAR: What's Under the Hood?
Forget everything you thought you knew about electric crossovers. Ford, with a little help from Austrian motorsport specialists STARD-the same geniuses behind Ford's electric Supervan and SuperTruck concepts-has turned the Mach-E into a proper racing beast. Let's get to the juicy stuff:
- Powerhouse Performance: Get ready for liftoff. This Mach-E boasts an insane 1341 horsepower (1000 kW). Yes, you read that right.
- Tri-Motor Setup: There's a trio of electric motors at play here. Two independently drive the rear wheels, with a third to drive the front axle. The result is some serious bite.
- All-Wheel Drive: Traction and control are paramount on the track. This AWD system sees that all power goes to the tarmac in the most efficient manner.
- Race-Ready Design: With the unmistakable Mach-E profile, this model gets a full NASCAR-style redesign featuring aggressive aero, a slammed ride height, and an entirely reworked chassis.
- Battery for Endurance: The 78 kWh battery in this design focuses on energy density and output to support performance over long, very long periods of time.
Crossover DNA, Racer Soul
Curiously, this NASCAR Mach-E still holds onto the crossover form factor. Why? Well, Ford insinuated it's because a shape like that can fit larger, more race-capable batteries-a much-needed advantage as you push closer to the edge on the track. It is a smart amalgamation of practicality and engineering for performance.
STARD: The Motorsport Magicians Behind the Wheel
Big ups to STARD-the Austrian wizards of electric motorsport engineering-who helped bring this electric Mustang into the world of racing. These guys know how to get big performance out of EVs, and after previously working with Ford on the Supervan and SuperTruck projects, the scene was already set for this new NASCAR venture.
Get Ready to Hear the Electric Roar?

Keep your eyes-and ears-peeled, because the electric racing revolution just got a jolt of adrenaline.
