Here we go then, Ford ’s very first fully electric NASCAR prototype. It’s a Mustang Mach-E that looks like a good bit of fun.

The most powerful Mustang Mach-E you can buy today is the GT model. It has a dual-motor powertrain and standard all-wheel drive, a setup that’s rated at a stout 480 horsepower and up to 700 pound-feet of torque with the optional performance upgrade.

Ford is one of America's oldest automakers and one of the oldest in the world, popularized for being the first to effectively mass produce the automobile under Henry Ford with the Ford Model T. In over 120 years, Ford has become a sales leader in a variety of segments, with popular nameplates like the Ford F-150, Transit, and Mustang.

Ford on Thursday showed what its Mustang Mach-E electric SUV might look like as a NASCAR race car. The prototype is designed to look like a Mach-E, but is actually built around a carbon-fiber tub chassis with components from a current NASCAR Cup Series car, including the suspension, brakes, steering, and wheels, Ford said in a brief statement.

Ford likes to go racing. It announced yesterday that it will attempt to achieve an overall win at Le Mans in 2027, but it also hasn’t forgotten about America. The Blue Oval has just introduced a new Mustang Mach-E prototype for NASCAR.
