Mustang Mach-E Rally Edition! Priced ~$65K, 480hp, 650lb-ft, raised 20mm, Rally Sport Mode, ordering open early 2024

It says “Performance Upgrade Enabled” Meaning that there’s a paid option coming to get more performance?

The rally sport is also checked so this could just be another visual indicator to show that mode is now active.

Apologies, where do you see Ford mention WOT?

In a discussion with Ford. Unfortunately, I didn't get more details. However, I may have an opportunity to get more details soon.

Forget ppf or a wrap.

If they really are serious you would Line-X the underbody, bumper, etc.

Nice idea for all the lower piano black areas.

I'm really thinking more suspension issues than body.

LOL, no suspension issues on Big Ugly! ??

When you see the video they released, when she clicks the Rally Sport option, it does not show this popping up.

No idea who Tom is, but if Darren said it, you can take it to the bank - “Soon” ???

Tom is the host in this video.

I’d want a stripe delete option

There is a stripe delete option

Unless there is a new and exciting color or something, I don’t think it will be enough to tempt me to change anything aside from current wheels and tires but we shall see. 8-25 year old me would’ve never considered any other car and had to have this Rally trim.

Did you see Eruption Green?
Also, the Grabber Yellow will start as a Rally-only option

I’ve got the Hipster Rally! I had a GT with Michelin CrossClimate2s before it was cool.

So how is Ford achieving the faster DCFC times?

Change in the middle part of the charge curve, I would think. The charge curve was originally super-conservative. They updated that shortly after I bought my car to increase the >80% part of the curve from ~17 KW to ~43 KW. They still have lots of room for improvement and I guess the data they have been logging shows they can be more aggressive between 20% and 80%. ??

That’s how I read it, however it says “upgrade.”

Compare that term with how Unbridled Extend is actually a “performance downgrade,” and maybe the Rally mode actually does add more power instead of less?

We shall see though.

Watch the video. She clicks the rally button and there's no banner. I'm guessing (hoping) this is an increase over the advertised specs.

Then it can look like this

Oh, you just want a green one you don’t need to wrap! ??

Nope. I’d buy that yellow. The eruption green isn’t bright enough for me.

"Performance Upgrade Enabled" ?

I'm kinda digging this more now than the reveal at Goodwood. I think it will look fantastic in Eruption Green with those white wheels and (hopefully) a matching white stripe. Same for Grabber Blue - white wheels and a white stripe will look killer. I guess I'm just a fan of The White Stripes...

Also kinda skeptical about any real performance, but if you live somewhere with miles of fire roads it could be a ton of fun.
