MUSTANG MACH-E GT ON TRACK! ONE BIG PROBLEM...

EV Channels Review

The reviewer takes the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition to Willow Springs for a track day, aiming to test its performance under demanding conditions. While the Mach-E is not a dedicated track car, it surprisingly handles better than anticipated, with good brakes and a capable suspension. However, the "unbridled extend" mode suffers from significant power cuts after initial acceleration, limiting top speed on straights to around 100-110 mph and resulting in lap times around 1:49-1:51. The reviewer notes a lack of tire feedback and a tendency to understeer, making it feel "pushy" at times. The biggest drawback highlighted is the impracticality of charging an EV for track use, with long round trips to chargers and significant charging times between sessions, making it a "big deal" and "not very practical." Despite its limitations, the reviewer found it "a lot of fun" and "pretty cool" to track, impressed by its dynamic capabilities for an electric SUV.
