Ford Debuts Mustang Mach-E NASCAR Prototype

Ford has introduced a new Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype, showcasing its electric capabilities and components from the NASCAR Cup Series cars, like suspension, steering, brakes, and wheels. This prototype, resembling a low-slung, two-door crossover, features three electric motors and a 78-kilowatt-hour battery, producing considerable power potentially over 1,300 horsepower. The vehicle aims to educate NASCAR on electric vehicle technology, with modifications like a carbon fiber tub to reduce weight. While Ford hasn't confirmed if this prototype will compete in a race series, it's part of the company's broader initiative in developing high-performance electric vehicles, evidenced by other projects like the SuperVan. Ford also plans to use the Mach-E in upcoming events, such as an attempt at the Open Class category record at Pikes Peak with driver Romain Dumas. This endeavor underscores Ford's commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle performance and innovation.
