Ford Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition can’t keep up with Skoda Superb on Autobahn

The electric SUV was able to travel nearly 200 km/h (124 miles) at that time, while the diesel wagon was faster.

The GT costs $61,995 and is available for the 2022 model years. The Performance Edition increases torque by 634 lb (860 Newton-meters), while maintaining the same 480 horsepower (358kilowatts). YouTuber AutoTopNL put these numbers to the test by taking the European version the electric performance SUV to an unlimited section of the Autobahn.

The EV era’s ‘Stang was tested on a cold and wet surface. This made it difficult to get traction. Despite this, the all-wheel drive setup provided by the dual electric motors should have compensated for the adverse conditions. It took 4.47 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 km/h), which is a little disappointing considering that the Blue Oval rates GT at 3.7 seconds.

It displayed typical EV limitations in terms speed, as it couldn’t keep up to a Skoda Superb Combi. The Mach-E GT’s name is Performance, but it was too slow to keep up with the mid-sized Czech wagon. The Skoda was also a Scout version, and had all-wheel drive. Power likely came from the 2.0-liter diesel engine, as very few people choose the 2.0 TSI unit for this model of car.

The zero-emissions Mustang completed the 0-60 mph test again, but it ended up slower at 4.62 seconds. The driver kept pushing the gas pedal, and completed the quarter mile in 13.03 seconds. He then did the half-mile in 21.57 seconds. This took him to the one-mile threshold in less than 37 seconds.

The Superb Scout weighs in at almost 1,700 kg (3,747 lbs). However, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT still carries approximately 570 kg (1.256 lbs) more than the TDI-powered wagon. The SUV’s peak power can be reached for just five seconds so it is easy to see why a Skoda with the same engine was faster.
