Sustainability has wed thrilling power and speed in the all-electric Mustang Mach-E 1400 one-of-a-kind prototype—an astounding leap to demonstrate the performance of electric propulsion.
It boasts of a staggering 1,400 peak horsepower without using a drop of gas. It offers capability unlike any other vehicle with the powerful synchronization of its chassis and powertrain.
This breakthrough is a result of 10,000 hours of collaboration between Ford Performance and RTR to bridge the gap between what an electric vehicle can do and customers’ expectations. Following the impressive stats of the all-electric Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, the Mustang Mach-E 1400 is set for everything from drifting to high-speed track racing.
Take it from Mustang Mach-E Chief Program Engineer Ron Heiser who shared, “It is going to be fun to drive just like every other Mustang, but Mustang Mach-E 1400 is completely insane, thanks to the efforts of Ford Performance and RTR.” RTR Vehicles founder Vaughn Gittin Jr. elaborated further and compared the experience of driving a Mustang Mach-E 1400 to a magnetic roller coaster.
The prototype shows off Mustang Mach-E GT body in white. Its hood is made of organic composite fibers, a lightweight alternative to the carbon fiber that comprises the rest of the vehicle.
The source of incredible power of the Mustang Mach-E 1400 is seven motors, which is five more than even Mustang Mach-E GT. Three motors are attached to the front differential while four are attached to the rear in pancake style, with a single driveshaft connecting them to the differentials.
An amazing 56.8-kilowatt-hour battery made of nickel manganese cobalt pouch cells is also incorporated for ultra-high performance and high-discharge. The battery is designed to be cooled during charging using a di-electric coolant.
The all-electric Mustang Mach-E 1400 also features Brembo brakes and a hydraulic handbrake system. This is vital for drifting and integrates with the powertrain controls to allow power to the rear motors to shut off.
The power and ability of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E is set to debut at a NASCAR race soon and will be stealing attention in the U.S. at the end of this year.
