Odd looking Mach E in Ford testing

[HondaRacer]

Apparently taken at Ford’s proving grounds where they are studying the cybertruck. The tall Mach E doesn’t appear to just be lifted, but the lower portion of the car is extended downward. Larger battery pack?

Because everyone wants a rally car that can't handle small hills, sand, snow, or moderate departure angles.

Actually, given how Ford nerfed the GTPE, you might be on to something.

That IS odd looking.. Not only taller but that back window is narrow compared to the standard next to it. I'm not caffeinated enough for this yet.

If Ford hadn't laid me off a year and a half ago I could go see those in person lol

It's probably the Lincoln version of the Mach-E, there have been rumors for awhile now that the Lincoln was going to be taller than the Mach-E but was being disguised in testing as a tall Mach-E.

Looks like it might be this one. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. Lincoln abandoned their plans for an EV based on the current Mach-E a while ago and stated they're developing EVs on Ford's Gen2 platforms instead.

Ford paid $225k for a CT as well? Some Porsche Dealer in FL did as well. (unless it's click baity)

Since that project got abandoned, I’m thinking it may not be that same test mule, but it also definitely isn’t a Mach E. Could be an Explorer EV.

It’s click baity.

People taking spy photos don’t go do interviews for comment afterwards.

I would guess Ford actually just had one of the first ones on order.

Rally isn’t that tall, and no need to hide a Rally at this point:

Good catch! This is probably it.

The two Maches in the background also appear taller. Maybe the one is shorter or it is an optical illusion.
