The Ford Mach E (Car and Driver)


Recommended Posts

No, it's from a British magazine site that keeps misquoting Model E as Mustang based, not Mustang inspired. in the space of a day, they changed their previous rendering to look more like a Mustang based on what they thought they heard, not what was actually said. We know that hackett made Ford redo the styling of Model E to make it more desirable for people to won and drive, so it will have some of that Mustang DNA but certainly not a direct copy. We may however be approaching a time where Ford will start offering the performance oriented buyer more choices than just an ICE based package.

Back seat entrance and exit will be horrible (yes, I know, not much different than now, but who really sits in the back seat of a Mustang anyway?)...do not "pollute" the linage of Mustang with this attempt.....better off using recently departed Aussie Falcon body lines and four door setup, however, the marketplace has spoken...sedans are a non-starter.

For those who hate the renderings, sorry. The Mach E may not look exactly like them, but it will be similar. We've already been shown official renderings of the front and back, and it has leaked that the Mach E will be a crossover coupe.

From what I gather the Mach E Utility is pretty much like a Tesla with flat battery pack on the floor and electric drive front and back and every bit as impressive as a Tesla but won't be shared with Lincoln. The new EVs being built from about 2023 at Flat Rock are on an all new platform, that will be Lincoln's first EV.

Seems odd they wouldn't have included Lincoln in the first one.

Just call it the Model E. It represents Ford’s first legitimate long rang electric vehicle, which will usher in the next generation of Ford vehicles. 

This ^^

This car could be as important as the Model T as it ushers in the future for Ford mobility........so it doesn't need to Mustang name. Ford Model E would work perfectly (assuming copyright etc)

Ford did copyright the name "Model E". They threatened Tesla who wanted to use it so they could have the Models S E X and Y
