I wonder how much extra battery they can put by taking out the back seats and making it a two-door coupe? I would think the Shelby is going to need it to for a day at the track.
It looked like there was some space still underneath the rear hatch area. Take out the space available for a spare tire (because for a track vehicle, just bring an electric F150 to tow you home lol).

Adding more batteries is going to add quite a bit of weight which won't help much. Most gas powered cars will need filling up at the track if you want to spend the day there so you will probably find tracks adding DC chargers to cater to the EV.

To match the taycan for ability to keep pounding around the track it is going to take a bit more than some additional batteries and will probably require moving to a higher voltage.

As much as I would enjoy a track EV, a pure EV is going to have a hard time competing with a high performance hybrid still a least ford are making all the right noises about not treating it as a compliance vehicle.

Mach-E Shelby coming please give us better performance and handling then the Tesla performance models.

Please give us Recaro seats Brembo brakes nice unique wheels and some bright Shelby colours. Yellow orange Green etc.

Don’t forget the Shelby performance exhaust audio noise with selectable choices inside and outside of the car and that will meet noise regulations in the selections and of course the standard stealth mode.

Waiting to see the electrified Ford E -150 ?pickup that Tesla plans to compete against.
So many shocking choices coming .

Braking is as important to me, as acceleration....

Ford will offer something for everyone with the new Mustang Mach E: a daily drive with medium autonomy base car, a large range autonomy and powerfull vehicle (AWD extended range batterie car), a powerful and decent autonomy GT and, now, a furious track ready, low range Shelby. What else can a Mustang fan dream of?

Can someone explain to me why they didn't overhaul a model like the Edge? Something that has no racing heritage, virtually no performance model, instead of pissing off the most loyal brand/model customers you have? Edge EVX sounds way better than an infringement on an icon. Edge EVX might pull in a different kind of performance enthusiast to a newly revamped model line! Just sayin".

Because an Edge doesn't have the heart that this car will have. You seem to think this will be a lame, grocery getter (which is far from the truth). Also, this is a BRAND NEW vehicle, built from the ground up. Live in your #NOTMUHSTANG crowd, but we'll be enjoying blowing past 90% of mustangs out there while hauling our families and groceries.

They may introduce regenerative braking with such a Shelby, as well as torque vectoring. Maybe even rear wheel steering.

If I'm being honest I would have thought the GT would come with torque vectoring.

GT Perfomance is supposed to have 459hp. Mustang GT has 460hp correct? So if Shelby GT has 750hp, Shelby Mach-E 749hp would make more sense no?
Shelby has 760hp, not 750hp.

Wow! If you need an excuse to to get an EV... this will be it.
Because of work, I need an EV with either a range far greater than this (or any other EV) offers, or recharge times and recharge locations comparable to refueling my Mustang. Hopefully, one day, they'll get there, because I'm tired of paying California prices for gas, for my daily.

Not at all! I do not think it will be "a lame grocery getter." I think it will be a great new vehicle that I wouldn't mind owning, and feel free to blow by me. Just find another name to use to do it. Just because it has styling ques from the original pony car definitely doesn't make it deserving of the running horse brand. There are all kinds of faster,quicker,sleeker cars out there and I don't get upset when they "blow by me." Someone is always going to build one faster,quicker,sleeker AND more expensive. Mustang was fine where it was at. Find another way to market the electric,fast,high center of gravity,grocery getter! Maybe call it the Five Hundred E, or the Zepher E, Or better yet the Edsel E!

Edge EVX just doesn't have the same presents as Mustang Mach E. When people here the Edge name the response is "Yea nice grocery getter" but Mustang makes people take notice and the response is "Performance car".
