Yes, that’s the horsepower output.
The Ford Mustang Mach E 1400 takes the brand’s new electric vehicle to its absolute limits. The EV packs seven electric motors that produce 1,400 horsepower (1.044 kilowatts), and a 56.8 kilowatt-hour (batterie). This modified body can produce more than 2,300 pounds (1.043 kilograms), of downforce at 160 mph (258 km/h). This monster is unique, but will be on display at future NASCAR races.
Three motors drive the front wheels, while four power the rear. They are connected to the differentials by a single driveshaft. The driver can adjust the system to drift or set laps quickly on the track.
This EV has Brembo brake components for stopping and a hydraulic handbrake to make it easier to drift. The electronic brake booster system is a combination of ABS, regenerative braking and stability control.
In the Mach-E 1400’s announcement, RTR Vehicles founder and professional driver, said, “Getting behind the wheel this car has completely transformed my perspective on power and torque.”
Ford Performance and RTR collaborated for approximately 10,000 hours to create the Mustang Mach-E 1400. The base of the Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a Mach-E body-in-white, but it has been extensively modified. The team can switch between all-wheel-drive, front-, or rear-drive configurations with the adaptable drivetrain. There are different steering and control arm configurations depending on whether crew members want to drive the car on the track or drift.
Ford claims that the vehicle will be a test bed for new materials and might one day make it into production. The hood, for example, is made of organic composite fibers rather than carbon fiber.
The Mach-E GT is the most powerful, with 459 horsepower (342 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 nm). The standard model comes with an all-wheel drive and an extended-range battery, which offers an estimated 250-mile (402 km) range. This variant will be available in 2021.
