Ford is preparing to reveal what appears to be a rally-ready Mustang Mach-E at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed on the 14th of July.
The Blue Oval’s European division posted a teaser video on YouTube, showing the colourful Mustang Mach-E lurking in the background behind two other regular Mustang Mach-E vehicles.
According to Ford, this Mustang Mach-E is “an exciting new member of the Mustang family.”
In the video, the colourful Mustang Mach-E drives along some dirt roads and slides around corners, kicking up dust.
It appears to have different wheels and tyres, and could feature upgraded suspension.
It’s unclear if Ford will make any powertrain changes to this Mustang Mach-E. The current Mustang Mach-E GT flagship’s dual-motor all-wheel drive set-up produces total system outputs of 358kW of power and 860Nm of torque.
It’s also unclear if this teased Mustang Mach-E will be a new variant available for purchase, or if it will be a one-off show car like the Mach-E 1400 prototype.
The “new Mustang family member” will be displayed at the First Glance Paddock, and also driven by French rally driver Adrien Fourmaux, British racing driver Harry Tincknell, and Estonian rally driver Ott Tänak on the hillclimb.
“Mustang is a car that can stir emotions like no other, and the Goodwood Festival of Speed hosts some of the most passionate car fans in the world, so to unveil our newest member of the Mustang family here is a match made in heaven,” said vice president of Electric Vehicle Programs Ford Model e Darren Palmer.
Ford will show off its recently revealed Mustang GT3 and Dark Horse at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, alongside the M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 and electric Ford Explorer.
The Mustang Mach-E has been confirmed for an Australian launch, with deliveries expected to start later this year. Ford will offer three variants, including the flagship Mustang Mach-E GT.
Pricing starts from $79,990 before on-road costs for the base model Select, and stretch to $108,990 before on-road costs for the flagship Mustang Mach-E GT.
