Ohhh. Good question. I'm curious, also.

This picture from the Jalopnik article is the smaller, front motor (for a AWD non-GT).They definitely use the ISO symbol. It also looks like they've taken some weight out of the casing.
Hamsters. They run around in the metal wheel and that is what moves the car. It's the next generation of what we all had as kids for our pet hamsters.Horses live here
Kidding aside, it does look like that might be the bottom of the word "HORSES"!Horses live here
Do you mean this sentence?Well that's interesting. It says that BorgWarner has designed a new front motor for the GT.
I don't read this to mean a new front motor. It's supposed to be the same motor front and back on GT, though the packaging could reasonably have some differences (but who knows).On the all-wheel-drive GT version, BorgWarner is supplying the secondary drive unit to power the front wheels as well.
In time we should get more specification would be nice to see the width dimension of how wide the motor and gearbox are, hopefully the gearbox is pretty small and leaves room for a potential twin motor upgrade in the rear similar to what audi has done for the e-tron sportback s modelDo you mean this sentence?

"The iDM is being supplied to power the Mustang Mach-E’s rear-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. On the all-wheel-drive GT version, BorgWarner is supplying the secondary drive unit to power the front wheels as well. Start of production is slated to begin this year."Do you mean this sentence?

Unless something has changed, all the materials at the time of the Mach E release indicated the GT would have the same motor in front and rear. The front probably is slightly modified from the rear to operate in a forward configuration."The iDM is being supplied to power the Mustang Mach-E’s rear-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.

The press release clearly says they're supplying a secondary drive unit for the GT as well as the front and rear motors for the non-GT.
This means there are three different motors for the Mach-E.
A newly developed third motor for the GT explains the additional delay for its release from spring to late summer 2021.Unless something has changed, all the materials at the time of the Mach E release indicated the GT would have the same motor in front and rear.

I'm interpreting "secondary" to mean the second motor -- the one in front, with the one in the rear being considered as the primary motor.The press release clearly says they're supplying a secondary drive unit for the GT as well as the front and rear motors for the non-GT.
