The Mustang Mach-E Rally

"Just a year ago, this was merely an idea, and what you see today is a testament to the passion and intense creativity of our Model e team. We have always explored new areas of performance, and the combination of a rally-tuned suspension, dual motor electric powertrain, and wicked styling makes the Mustang Mach-E Rally a different kind of performance vehicle that will excite customers chasing their next adventure.”
A closer look at the Mustang Mach-E Rally.
Where the rubber meets the dirt road, Mustang Mach-E Rally sports durable, gloss white 19-inch rally-style alloy wheels inspired by the long history of Ford rally vehicles and wearing 235/55 R19 Michelin CrossClimate2 tyres that provide more sidewall and loose surface grip compared to GT.
Every Mustang Mach-E Rally comes standard with two racing stripes that complement the bold colour palette. It can be ordered in Grabber Blue, Shadow Black, Eruption Green, and eye-popping Grabber Yellow with available Star White or new Glacier Gray as extra cost options.
Mustang Mach-E Rally has unique contrasting accents, including upper and lower body mouldings, a unique front splitter, black painted steel roof, and a distinctive and purposeful front fascia that houses built-in rally-inspired fog lights.
There’s also a recovery point built into the front end should off-highway adventures ever get a little too spicy.
With all the gravel customers will kick up, the underside gets protective shielding for the front and rear motors.
A protective film on the door cladding and wheel arches can help reduce paint chips, and available dealer-installed styled mud flaps to reduce debris spray.
The Mustang Mach-E Rally also looks the part by wearing a dramatic rear spoiler that takes inspiration from the Focus® RS.
Technology Inside
Mustang Mach-E Rally has the first-ever RallySport Drive Mode from Ford, which is designed for off-road driving and adapts electronic control systems to allow bigger slides, a linear throttle response for better control, and more aggressive damping for better handling in loose corners.
As a bonus, drivers will appreciate how this drive mode, combined with the new tyres, allows the Mustang Mach-E Rally to perform in snow and other slick off-road conditions.
Inside there’s a combination of comfort, functionality, and style that ties in with the iconic white wheels.
There are gloss white accents on the dash, the lower spokes of the steering wheel and contrasting stitching on the doors.
Drivers will strap into distinctive Ford-designed performance seats that feature gloss white seatbacks, and “Mach-E Rally” debossed into the seating surface.
Off-Road Testing
To test the Mustang Mach-E, Ford developed an all-new rally course at its Michigan Proving Ground. The course was specially designed by rallycross veterans to simulate just what the vehicle might experience in the real world. Engineers and technicians then abused Mustang Mach-E Rally prototypes in 800-kilometre tests simulating rally-cross durability trials to make sure it lived up to their design intent.
"Mustang Mach-E Rally puts Ford’s decades of passion for rally championships around the world right in the hands of our customers. It takes Mustang where it hasn’t been before – to gravel and dirt roads. Inspired by true driving enthusiasts, a driving experience like never before for the pure joy of driving."
About the Reveal Film

"Growing up with two older brothers ignited my competitiveness from a young age, and along with passion for biking I've always found cars exciting. It was a really thrilling experience driving the Mustang Mach-E Rally. With Ford leaning into this new area with off-road EVs, taking a zero emissions vehicle out to more remote trails when I go mountain biking is going to be game changing."
