The All-New 2024 Mustang Mach-E Rally
Overview of the 2024 Mustang Mach-E Rally Specs
At Bill Brown Ford in Livonia, Michigan, we are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Mustang family, the electric 2024 Mustang Mach-E Rally. From an idea brainstormed in an engineering breakroom to a high-performance rally-inspired SUV, the Mach-E Rally EV is a true example of Ford’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
Beginning with a “hand-me-down” Mach-E GT outfitted with off-road tires, the concept was rigorously tested at Ford’s Michigan Proving Grounds, confirming its capability on dirt tracks. Let’s dive into what makes the Mustang Mach-E Rally an extraordinary addition to the Ford lineup and how they tested its capabilities against the elements.
The Mustang Mach-E Rally Features
Designed to excel on rugged terrain, the electric Mustang Mach-E Rally features a 1-inch lift from the standard Mach-E GT suspension height, along with RallyCross-tuned shocks and springs. This setup ensures the SUV can handle uneven and rough surfaces with ease. Gloss-white 19-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin CrossClimate2 tires provide excellent traction and durability, while underbody shielding protects the vehicle from the dirt and buildup of rallycross driving.
Beyond its sturdy build, the Mach-E Rally showcases aggressive styling cues that emphasize its performance. Contrasting accents enhance its look, including upper and lower body moldings, a front splitter, and a rear spoiler. A black-painted steel roof and built-in rally-inspired fog lights complete the design, making the Mach-E Rally a head-turner both on and off the road.
Testing the Capabilities of the Mach-E Rally
Extensive testing was required to ensure the Mach-E Rally’s performance capabilities excelled on the track. Ford’s off-road attributes engineer, Chris Berchin, and vehicle engineering supervisor, Jay Kistler, led the drive testing phase. Their expertise and rallycross experience were crucial in designing a 500-combined mile torture test at Ford’s Michigan Proving Grounds. This test simulated the equivalent of 10 years of monthly rallycross racing, putting the Mach-E Rally through its paces in various weather conditions and on different dirt surfaces.
The team went above and beyond to ensure authenticity by transforming an unused field into a fully developed rallycross testing course. They attended rallycross events and interviewed drivers to create a course mirroring real rallycross environments. Advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis, cutting-edge sensors, and measuring equipment validated the course’s design, ensuring it met all the necessary criteria for genuine rallycross testing.
RallySport Drive Mode
Ford’s innovative RallySport drive mode, developed through extensive behind-the-scenes engineering, was rigorously tested to ensure enhanced performance. This mode optimizes the Mustang Mach-E Rally SUV for dirt road performance while maintaining impressive on-road capabilities.
Designed specifically for dirt-track driving, the RallySport drive mode enhances the vehicle’s dynamics by allowing increased yaw, which shifts the vehicle’s weight from its center of gravity to the left or right for more dramatic slides. The RallySport mode provides a linear throttle response for precise control and implements more aggressive damping for superior handling on sharp turns.
Horsepower & Torque
The Electric Mach-E Rally is powered by dual motors, delivering 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and boasts an EPA-estimated range of 265 miles, making it both powerful and efficient.
