Mach-E GT in Cyber Orange @ Chicago Auto Show

[Scooby24]

Winner! I immediately zoomed in on the image trying to do the same thing, but quickly gave up. I'm glad you were more persistent!

I don't see 245/45 R20 in the available sizes at the tire rack link though. So this could be a new size, or this could even be a new Ford-specific, or at least EV specific, version of the tire. We know that the GT PE is getting the EV-specific "Elect" version of the Pirelli P-Zero, so there's a chance this tire is something similar.

I am leaning toward going with ExtremeContact™ DWS06 Plus on my GT PE right now, but I definitely want to learn more about the OEM GT tire before making a purchase.

I had DWS and DWS06 tires on two different vehicles in the past and both of those I had bad experiences with. The original DWS were WAY too soft in the sidewall and had the most bizarre combination of good grip but weird sway feeling in the corners. They flat spotted horribly.

The DWS 06 were better on the sidewalls and drove well other than more flat spotting issues.

Could have been two sets of flukes but I don't think I'll go with them again.

Good to know. I'm still in the "research" phase, so I've got more time to figure it out. ?

I had one of those Celica GT’s too!

Mine was silver, and my dad and me swapped in one of the now legendary 18R-GU twin cam 2 litres.

145 hp! 7000rpm redline! God, I loved the sweet mechanical noises that thing made.

I really need to see thse wheels WITHOUT the aero covers, think I would like them better.
I like the wheel design a lot, but like the Select model with the aero covers I want to see them both with and without. Would taking the aero covers off impact range all that much?

Also need some clear shots of the interior, since this should have the yet unseen GT orange accents and seat patern. All of the GT interior picks I have seen up till now have been of the Performance version fixed headrest seats.

This is the ONLY picture I have with the GT wheels without the covers and I really like the look!

How much difference does the aero covers make?

 

[Scooby24]

no one knows but based on the GT to GT PE EPA range estimates...those are only 10 miles of range apart...and betting the majority of that is the difference in tires, not wheels. I'd say Maybe 1-2%

I had DWS06s on my GTI. Dry traction is pretty decent for an all season. Wet was ok but would slip with power added. My biggest problem is they got LOUD at about 50% tread. If it weren’t for them sounding like a 4x4, I would have bought them again

The 2021 Chicago Auto Show kicks off tomorrow and the Mach-E has a presence in the form of this Cyber Orange Mach-E GT. ?

What a beauty! Can’t wait to see the GT interior!

I wish someone had video of its run. I tried searching but can't come up with anything except when the 1400 did Goodwood last year

Yes, Ford had a large display of the European versions, both left and right hand drive…
