The top-selling SUV also gets a new self-driving capability and sport appearance package, but Ford declines to build the Tesla-backed NACS port into the vehicle for Supercharging.

Ford Mustang Mach-E is officially on sale, as the automaker opened order books on the mildly improved, yet also cheaper electric crossover today. Starting at $36,995 ($3,500 less than the 2024 model),

Ford on Thursday showed what its Mustang Mach-E electric SUV might look like as a NASCAR race car. The prototype is designed to look like a Mach-E, but is actually built around a carbon-fiber tub chassis with components from a current NASCAR Cup Series car, including the suspension, brakes, steering, and wheels, Ford said in a brief statement.

The stock car has three motors and, like the unbranded demonstrator revealed last year, is built around the current NASCAR Next Gen chassis.

Besides the silhouette, the Mach-E prototype eschews a decklid spoiler for a huge rear wing. As strange as it may look, we do have to give credit to Ford and NASCAR for delivering a body that legitimately looks similar to a standard Mustang Mach-E.

The automaker confirmed Thursday in a press release that it would send a new one-off demonstrator based on the Mustang Mach-E to the 2025 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, scheduled for late June. It follows EV demonstrators based on the F-150 Lightning pickup truck and Transit van that ran in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
