2022 SEMA: Mach-E Build "True Mustang Persona" by Tucci Hot Rods

I think you misunderstood me. I meant that they added aero, seats, but ??? for performance? I suppose you could argue that the aero would have a performance benefit, but I was really hoping to hear about the flux capacitors.

Oh gotcha. The only performance thing really would be that converted frunk to an ice box to further cool the coolant. Wonder if that translates to any real world performance differences.

I bet it does nothing...if it's even functional, which there's a decent chance it's not.

There are better pictures on their Facebook

For those without FB:

I like

the paint And REALLY like the front lower bumper (where they removed the active shutters).

Wheels and rear spoiler aren’t my favorite but it’s an attention getter for SEMA so they make sense

"We work actively with the aftermarket to share our product designs so customers can personalize and put the finishing touches on their vehicle to make it all their own."

Ford’s personalization and accessories business has grown 40 percent in the last two years, providing customers the opportunity to create experiences beyond the point of vehicle sale.

Highlighted Ford accessories can be purchased from a local Ford dealer or ordered online for direct delivery. Customers have the option of having the parts installed at a dealership or on their own. Parts purchased with the vehicle can also be rolled into the customer’s monthly vehicle payment.

Mustang Mach-E: True Mustang Persona
Builder: Dom Tucci Design (Tucci Hot Rods)/Kay Automotive Graphics
SEMA location: West Hall, Booth No. 50165
Specs: Shadow Black GT, Extended Range Battery

Starting with a dual-motor 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT with mountains of electric torque and all-wheel drive, the Tucci Hot Rods vehicle is widened with a muscular custom lift-gate spoiler, fender arches with Tucci-made 3D-printed fender flares, vacuum-formed transparent wheel covers and a 3D-printed front lip, while a Kay Automotive custom graphics wrap brings significant style.

This Tucci vehicle wears Ford Accessories sill plates, door emblems, and GT badged tailgate. The cabin sports a Ford Accessories 140-degree dash cam, two Recaro® seats, racing harnesses with custom harness bar and custom-painted trim accents. Everything comes together for an aggressive look on a platform ripe for customization.

Dom Tucci and Kay Automotive’s Mustang Mach-E serves as the blueprint for the next generation of modified Mustang aesthetics. Tucci’s modifications to the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT are thoughtful and precise with the potential to support both an aesthetic and performance build.

So of all the color, they decided to go with brown

It sounds like you have some insider knowledge. I have none so cannot respond to the state of employee morale, but I disagree with your assessment of their performance. Personally I think the MME was a home run, and the Lightening even better. Their product line in general is very strong, and as long as they keep up their recent track record, Toyota will be eating their dust. IMO.

Agreed. Ford is firing on all cylinders.

OK after seeing more pix, I see the article used the wrong terminology. What they called a spoiler is an extension of the sun shade. My opinion on this item is not positive, both from an aesthetic standpoint and from an aero standpoint.

Also not a fan of the baby poop brown (thanks @scoopman ) wrap. They should have gotten a Cyber Orange or Rapid Red car and not wrapped it.

According to the article I read, Ford decided to “partner” with several exhibitors instead of having their own presence.

I didn't see this car out there. But I did see that Universal Air had a air ride kit for the Mach E
