The electric Ford Mustang Mach-E outsold the two-door Mustang for the first time in 2024 and now it’s moving in

The Ford Mustang Mach-E stock car has three motors and, like the unbranded NASCAR demonstrator revealed last year, uses the NASCAR Next Gen chassis.

Besides the silhouette, the Mach-E prototype eschews a decklid spoiler for a huge rear wing. As strange as it may look, we do have to give credit to Ford and NASCAR for delivering a body that legitimately looks similar to a standard Mustang Mach-E.

After a first try at a racing EV with the series and its manufacturers, Ford took the project into its own hands to create a prototype that could help shape the next gen for Ford and its future in competition.

Ford on Thursday showed what its Mustang Mach-E electric SUV might look like as a NASCAR race car. The prototype is designed to look like a Mach-E, but is actually built around a carbon-fiber tub chassis with components from a current NASCAR Cup Series car, including the suspension, brakes, steering, and wheels, Ford said in a brief statement.

Ford has introduced the Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype, a fully electric race car that aims to push the limits of EV motorsport technology.

Hybrids still haven't come to NASCAR and an electric race car for the series might seem even farther off, but Ford is still thinking about it.

While Ford has yet to release details of the Mach-E NASCAR, it will likely share similar characteristics of the NASCAR EV that was demonstrated in Chicago. The EV accelerated twice as fast as gas-powered NASCARs but suffered in corners due to its extra battery weight.
