The Mustang Mach-E Rally may not be unique in the Ford lineup much longer, at least on the Continent. In its typical forms, the Ford Mustang Mach-E does not stand out all that much as a performance choice in the crowded electric crossover space. That changes in a big way with the Mach-E Rally, a gravel-ready version that feels more like a creation in a Forza Horizon game than a real car.
View Price on AmazonAs European Ford executive Jim Baubick announced in a blog post on Monday, Ford has plans for an entire range of rally-inspired cars in its pipeline. The announcement is not specific on what that actually means, but he does offer one tantalizing hint of what Ford's rally models could be by claiming that the company is "taking the untamed spirit and soul of the Mustang and fusing it with the legendary, 'go-anywhere' toughness of the Ranger Raptor.
The result is a breed of vehicle that doesn’t just tolerate a gravel detour or a winding mountain ascent — it craves them." While we may all want some sort of Mustang Raptor, a teaser photo with five sets of crossover, SUV, or hatchback headlights suggests that he is actually referring to more projects based around less performance-oriented cars.
Unfortunately for Americans waiting to get to sliding in a whole lineup of fun-focused crossovers, Baubick's post repeatedly calls this out as a plan for Europe specifically, rather than a plan for the global market. Some of these cars could still eventually make their way to American shores, but for now, U.S.-based buyers will have to be satisfied with the Mustang Mach-E Rally.
