On July 21st, Ford released the prototype of Mustang Mach-E 1400, which looks stunning in the official images without watermarks. Interested fans can even take them as wallpapers.
To introduce briefly, this car was modified based on a white Mustang Mach-E GT, collaborated by Ford’s global performance car team and RTR.
In terms of power, it was upgraded from the original front and rear dual motors to 7 motors. Yes, you read that right, seven motors. Three motors on the front axle and four on the rear, arranged in a coaxial format and connected to left and right differential, with a total output of 1400 horsepower.
Mark Rushbrook, Ford’s Performance Racing Motorsports Director, said: “The biggest challenge we face is controlling the massive power output of 7 motors.“
Additionally, due to the exaggerated aerodynamic kit of Mustang Mach-E 1400, when the speed reaches 257km/h, it can produce 1034 kg of downforce.
As for the batteries, Mustang Mach-E 1400 uses nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary batteries, with a battery capacity of 56.8 kWh. A simple and rough calculation shows that the peak output power of 1030 kW means that the battery discharge rate has reached 18C. I wonder which battery manufacturer provided Mustang Mach-E 1400’s batteries?
To accommodate high-power charging and discharging, Mustang Mach-E 1400 uses a cooling system that utilizes insulation cooling fluid. This allows the battery to cool quickly, reducing turnaround time while the vehicle regenerates energy during charging.
In addition, this vehicle will also appear in America’s most famous auto race, NASCAR.
Last year, Volkswagen from Germany set the fastest electric car lap record on the Nürburgring with the ID.R, and now it’s time for Ford to flex its muscles in NASCAR.
