According to a TFL vid where Tommy said he spoke with a Ford engineer. He said they wouldn't tell him much, but they did open up about it being gt based. Here's hoping it's an improved and even more powerful version of the gt.

Hopefully beefier HVB contactors.

While they were in 2nd nearing the end, the Mach E Rally team ended up in Fifth in the Rebelle Rally.

MissGoElectric did a very nice video on the team:

I wonder how long it took them to hit the power limiter… ??

They didn't. Rally Mode is like Unbridled Extend in that it is optimized for all day racing, not a drag strip.

The Rally may have a newer HVBJB than the 2023s did.

There are new motors made by Ford (not sure, but I think that is in all 2024 GTs), different suspension, better underside protection, and new drive mode.

They were really vague on the motor details and if they would be on other models. They also wouldn't confirm power output or 0-60 times. I asked if the GT would get better power or 0-60 and they wouldn't say.

I’m going to guess that the 2024 GT and GT-PE will be quicker on full power simply based on traction if they have the same drivetrain. They will probably be similar if under Unbridled Extend since that’s power limited. Just guesses though. ?‍♂?

I was kind of joking. I’d guess with the newer rear motor and electricals and the Rally mode the car would be less power limited than a 21-23 GT in Unbridled Extend. It will be interesting to see this car once it hits the review pages. ??‍♂
