New car this week
When Ford decided to put the Mustang badge on an electric crossover, they made a lot of people upset. Many (us included) though putting the iconic performance badge on a family vehicle was unfair, and actually lowered the value of the Mustang nameplate. Well, it seems the blue oval has taken some notes, and turned the family crossover into the most powerful, crazy Mustang they ever built. The Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a high performance version of the regular Mach-E that packs seven, yes seven electric motors. When powered from its 56.8 kilowatt-hour battery pack, the motors produce a bowel liquifying 1,400 HP. To prevent the car form recreating Peter Dumbreck's flight attempt, the car is fitted with an extensive body kit, capable of producing 1,043 kilograms of downforce at 258 kilometers per hour. Oh, and did we mention this car screams? Unlike most other electric car, the 1400 actually makes a sound similar to a jet engine idling at high speed. Something that is quite fitting if you factor in the cars bonkers performance figure. Unfortunately, Ford has no plans to put the 1400 into production and built is as a one-off prototype. Which is quite disappointing, to put it mildly.
