Ford's Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype, an all-electric 1,360-horsepower racecar, combines innovative electric technology with traditional NASCAR elements.

The most powerful Mustang Mach-E you can buy today is the GT model. It has a dual-motor powertrain and standard all-wheel drive, a setup that’s rated at a stout 480 horsepower and up to 700 pound-feet of torque with the optional performance upgrade.

The automaker confirmed Thursday in a press release that it would send a new one-off demonstrator based on the Mustang Mach-E to the 2025 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, scheduled for late June. It follows EV demonstrators based on the F-150 Lightning pickup truck and Transit van that ran in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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.

Ford likes to go racing. It announced yesterday that it will attempt to achieve an overall win at Le Mans in 2027, but it also hasn’t forgotten about America. The Blue Oval has just introduced a new Mustang Mach-E prototype for NASCAR.

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.
