Ford has unveiled the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, an even-hotter version of its high-performance Mach-E GT flagship electric vehicle (EV). While the Performance Edition was announced at the Mustang Mach-E's global unveiling in November 2019, few mechanical details were released at the time, nor were the specific performance upgrades over the 'standard' GT detailed.

A video of a Ford Mustang Mach E drifting and doing burnouts has been created in an attempt to silence critics who believe the famous badge should never have appeared on an electric SUV. The highly-modified vehicle is far from a showroom version, with wider bodywork, massive wings, and racing rubber – and noisy high-output electric motors.

Ford has announced its new Mustang Mach-E electric SUV will be available with over-the-air technology, allowing some of its software to be updated via the internet or using mobile phone data. However, while the technology sounds exciting – and Ford will sell the electric SUV as a right-hand-drive model in the UK – it is still no closer to being confirmed for Australia.

Ford has filed a number of trademark applications for the Mach-E name, as it gears up to reveal its first pure-electric SUV. All Ford Mustangs has discovered an application made by Ford with the EU Intellectual Property Office for the Mustang Mach-E nameplate. The application, which we've verified, was filed at the beginning of the month, and could be used for the hybrid Mustang model, which is said to have around the same amount of power as the 5.0-litre V8 variant.
