Frustrated Ford fans keen to buy a new F-150 pick-up, the reborn Bronco four-wheel-drive, or the pure electric Mustang Mach-E in Australia will need to be patient or consider another car. Ford is no closer to introducing any of its latest iconic vehicles from the US – despite the runaway success of the Ram and Chevrolet pick-ups locally, the Bronco having strong Australian engineering involvement, and the Mustang Mach-E being built in right-hand-drive.

Ford has revealed a slew of modified concepts based on its latest models, unveiled on Friday as part of the brand's 'Ford Auto Nights SEMA Show Special' livestream event. The online-only Auto Nights event was set up, as its name suggests, in place of the 2020 SEMA show in Las Vegas, which was cancelled as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Headlining the roster of modified show car and custom concepts is the Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 2-Door Concept.

The evolution of the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E has been revealed during an exclusive live-stream event. Ford executives shared images showing early sketches and design concepts of the fully-electric Mustang SUV with members of the Mach-E Club. The Mustang Mach-E is Ford's performance plug-in electric SUV, with five variants available to buyers overseas: standard and extended range models, offered in either rear- or all-wheel-drive, and a range-topping GT model.

Ford's plug-in baby, the Mustang Mach-E, has been leaked two days before its official reveal in Los Angeles. A range of images published by user 'buzznwood' on the MachEforum, reveal the Mach-E will be priced from US$43,895 (AU$65,000) in base, rear-wheel drive guise when it launches. Ford will offer the base model with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, and is targeting a mid-five-second sprint time to 100km/h.
