Ford Mustang Mach-E Nascar Prototype Officially Revealed

Over the past couple of years, Ford has churned out a handful of what it calls EV demonstrators – one-off builds that are designed to push the limits of what’s capable in terms of all-electric performance. These vehicles give the automaker the perfect test bed for its future EV technology, and at the same time, have also resulted in some motorsports victories as well. That includes tremendous success at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, but this year, The Blue Oval has unveiled something totally new – the Ford Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype.

The all-new Ford Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype is interesting for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that it’s a coupe – a body style that its road-going namesake isn’t currently offered in. However, as Ford Authority previously reported, the EV crossover may gain a coupe version as part of its upcoming redesign, according to a prior report. Aside from that interesting tidbit, this new EV demonstrator features the same sort of wild bodywork as its predecessors, such as a gigantic rear wing, giant air intakes, and various aero tweaks throughout.

FoMoCo hasn’t revealed too many details about the Ford Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype otherwise, but did mention that it utilizes three electric motors, a 78 kWh battery pack, a full carbon tub, and the same suspension, brakes, steering, and wheels as the automaker’s current Mustang Cup Series cars.

The new Mach-E NASCAR prototype joins a host of other notable EV demonstrators from the recent past, including the Mach-E 1400, SuperTruck, SuperVan 4.2, Super Cobra Jet 1800, and Ford F-150 Lightning Switchgear, to name just a few. The SuperVan 4.2 wound up scoring a win in the open class and setting a new record at the 2023 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, while the F-150 Lightning recorded the quickest time and brought home a win at the 2024 Pikes Peak race, too.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.

  1. This is what the actual GT should look like.
    I love my Focus RS, but would buy an actual properly set up and stanced Mach E GT in a heartbeat. Looks like it would be a riot to drive.

    Powertrain doesn’t matter to me as long as it has the power. Its the handling, body profile, suspension, and driver characteristics that pretty much every EV other than the Ioniq N just falls flat on.

    The Mach E Rallye does a decent job, but its not meant for the road or the track.

  2. I’m not an EV guy but that’s how a performance EV should sound (if anybody cares to go check out the FP vids on YT) instead of trying to emulate an ICE vehicle. Granted the constant whine of the gears and motors would make a driver go crazy but if manufacturers want to electronically pipe the emotion in then this would be a good way to start.

    1. The motors make no noise at all. The gears do. If it had direct drive to the wheels, the tires will make the only noise.

  6. I guess it had to happen one day, sports utility vans in Nascar. GMC savanna vans could be used too. Probably the next step.
