- A faster electric Mustang? That’s about the size of it, yep. Welcome to the Mustang Mach-E GT. Instead of the 360bhp you got in the previous quickest Mach-E, the GT generates 480bhp. That makes it considerably more powerful than the 5.0-litre V8 plumbed into the nose of the Mustang Mach 1 coupe, which is currently the most powerful ‘Stang on sale in the United Kingland of Engdom-on-sea. But how does this £65k EV stack up? Click play and Top Gear Magazine’s Senior Road Test Editor Ollie Kew reveals all.

The square root of jack all- I’m stealing that one👍🏻
Was just about to comment that, that was hilarious caught me right off guard
The extended range Mach E has over 300 miles of range in RWD trim. And Ford's predicted range is much closer to real world than Tesla's.
Yes, but don't say that to any tesla fanboys, you won't hear the end of it.
Being closer to the real world doesn't make it the bigger range.
This is the most absurd argument. 5/10 is still worse than 7-9/10 even if you were to go by the lower range number.
Plus in the real world, the whole charging experience and infrastructure/practicality is what matters. Not pure range. But don't go telling the Tesla haters that.
@@abhinavcj1 like I said.
@@abhinavcj1 being closer to the real world matters because Teslas frequently don't hit their range estimates, so you have to take their numbers with a grain of salt. I've not seen the same said about the Mustang. You're correct about the charging network, but that calculus is different for everyone depending on how they use the car. For some people it's a big deal, for others not so much. Tesla is not the only manufacturer that achieves 300 mile range so consumers now have a choice.
@@abhinavcj1 the general consensus seems to be that Ford claims around 270 miles and usually overperforms in the real world while Tesla claims 300 miles but usually underperforms in the real world. All the other testing I've seen done shows the Mach E has more real world range than the Model Y (comparing performance versions), albeit very close. The charging networks do make a big difference if you're dependent on them, the ones Ford uses sound like they're just a terrible experience. But if you can just charge at home then it's all kind of moot anyway.
If you talk about range and name the Model Y more rangy than the Mach e, you forget about the Mach e X RWD - more range than the Model Y.
No it doesn’t have more range
Need to see Harris drift the Mach-E.
Indeed it is like there is no more Trio only on Special's .
So many expectations 😪 I don’t even have it yet!!
I'm okay with an electric mustang. I'm not okay with naming a midsized SUV a mustang. A mustang is a muscle/pony car. I've seen plenty of the new Corvette driving around. No one has a problem with a mid engine Corvette. No one wants to buy a SUV mustang.
Hate to say it but its the best selling electric car outside Tesla....... People want it regardless of a name but people with stangs don't. Saying this as a Tesla owner.
@@IReahpZz Its not surprising, people will pay good money for anything these days, just tell em it's a smart device and out come the bank cards!
@@Markcain268 good is kinda subjective here. It's behind tesla by a good margin and has many downsides. It's more so I think older people getting into a familiar name plate. Could be wrong though. I drive one and it didn't stack up to my Tesla as I had hoped but things will get better
*He says as Ford can't even find room for all the orders
100% agree. Electric is fine but trendy- tesla-suv-copycat is not. Should’ve made the first e-mustang a real one 😤
I still think they should have just called these The Mach E instead of them being a Mustang.
Can’t agree more there is nothing Mustang about it ….
Been saying that from day-one. What. Are. They. Thinking?! It would've been a much better positioning move. This is not a Mustang.
@@allwheeldrive what do you mean "what were they thinking"? Everybody and their mother talks about this car. It's the 2nd most popular and well known electric car besides Teslas. I couldn't tell you the name of Hyundai or VW's electric crossover.
That's what Ford was thinking, and it worked.
This channel would benefit from putting up actual numbers and mileage achieved, rather than just stating your experience with no numbers to bolster your opinion. I say this partly because I've seen other long range tests against the model y, where the Mach E actually got better range. It wasn't the GT, but the model Y wasn't the Performance either. Basically, it seems like you're going off of manufacturer stated numbers and maybe you're a Tesla owner. Basically, this was rather boring and lacks personality.
Have you considered the period of time they are allocated the car? They had to go to another country and likely use a pre-determined route.
@@gregoryuk yes, I have. Other channels do it.
U are guys aren’t being serious. You give us 11min video of this and only 1:30min of Chris behind the wheel of the 765. Solid logic
10:12 as an ETS2 fan the Schwarzmuller 3-axle steel segment tipper semitrailer is great to see.
❤️❤️
Ooo the Aerostar Mach-E GT
What time did you get for 0 to 60 ? You didn't mention it after the launch. Still watching the rest of it.
While a like the look of the GT version I still prefer if ford did a electric one in it's iconic form you know what I mean
I think they might be playing it safe and appeasing to the popular crossover crowd first. I bet they’ll release that one as soon as they can outclass the gas version on all fronts
@@kingsamvisuals I think you may have a point there
No, I don't. Your run on sentence is confusing, use punctuation.
I like more this front grill and bumper, they should offer as a sport appearance package for the other versions.
I think this new grill is a function of the model year (this grill being on newer models) and not necessarily the trim level. At least here in the US.
When he was telling that the car is 65 thousant pounds I at first thouth that that is how much the car weighs ;D
ford mach e: the fortnite of cars
More like the Fall Of Ford.
@@ICEV indeed
Not a mustang anymore but still a decent car. Btw the view is beautiful
Agreed. NOT a mustang. Stuck a mustang badge on it so it's automatically a mustang? So just stick one on the f150 and you got a mustang raptor? Lol
I test drove the premium AWD version and it was fantastic, but your right. If you tell people you bought a Mustang, this is not what they visualize.
Cyber Orange is not only for the Mach-E GT though, the new Ford Bronco also comes in Cyber Orange, but i guess you mean that other electric Mustangs do not have the Cyber Orange option.
Without doubt a future TG TV presenter. Very entertaining
Not a huge fan, but the interior is miles ahead of the Tesla playskool stuff.
Great, well built car. Love the look of it apart from the filled in fake grill.
I agree. I like how Tesla how designed their cars without trying to look like ICE cars.
Nice looking car.
Did they go to Halfords and get some different badges for this model
The metric system is not odd. Which it is actually odd and pretty unprecise is keep measuring everything like in the middle ages!
Love it love it! The GT version!! Very special and desirable car!!!! 🤩
All of these new EVs are brilliant and all, but when is the UK government actually going to seriously invest in a proper charging network and upgrading the grid to be able to handle the mass electrification of cars?
I’m in Berkshire U.K. and I see numerous charging banks on a daily basis. I’m a keen fan of electric cars but currently, the charging banks are invariably empty. This leads me to think most users will always charge their cars at night at home.
4:13 I mean if you're already telling them you drive a mustang then you might as well tell them you drive a ford GT
Greetings from Croatia!
Is he in Split?
@@TC-lk2ev opening scene is Rovinj in Istra
Beautiful country I have been there!😀
Should've just called it a Ford Mach-e and left the mustang badge where it belongs
Damn right there Bro...
I wonder why the mach 1 and standard mustang are so much slower in Eurpope than in the US. Multiple outlets have done 3.9s 0-60 for the mach 1
Your last question really made me wonder if there is any sense in buying the fast version of an EV.. Only Tesla managed to answer that with the Plaid.. For everything else you are better off with the cheaper version..
It's very beautiful but it would've been better as a sedan but crossovers are more popular and have higher sales.
Rovinj , Istra, Croatia!!!
Naming this a Mustang was the smartest thing they could've done. No way a regular ford electric crossover can generate this much publicity
Exactly why they did it because they knew it would get peoples attention and when they make their next ev after lightning f150 people will more likely buy it as a result of the publicity of mach e
@@byrdland5790 when the Mustang was first released saloons were the cars that people bought, people now buy SUVs.... Therefore the Mustang being re released as an SUV is quite logical
They should make a rwd muscle car with a body muscle car body
Ignoring the obviously divisive car that people give a "square roof of jack all" sh*ts about, the review from was very concise and entertaining from one of the lesser seen folks
It's ironic in a video on a performance EV that an ex Top-Gear host just dropped a video on one of the most exciting things to happen to EV's; a battery-swapped Porsche 356...with a manual.
I don't know what Mach1 Mustang these guys get get in UK but here in California my new Mach 1 will easily do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds all day long. Why are they slower (4.8 secs) in UK?
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates. 🎈
Nice
1. Why do people put so much credence in 0-60mph? Time to distance (e.g. time to 60ft, 660ft, 1320ft) is what wins races.
2. Why doesn't anyone hoot about passing times? The time to get from 30 to 60 mph, this is really where EV's shine (along with launching).
3. The nose rising on launch is simple mechanics. The bottom of the tires put a huge forward force on the car, the center of gravity is above the acceleration force, so the nose rises.
The mustang look is completely lost. This car just looks like all the competition!
Id have to actually disagree with you on this the front end is mustang and so does the side i think the rear definitely is generic though same with the interior
@@byrdland5790 There always has to be someone who disagrees - that is what I call subjectiveness. Utterly incredible, there you go! :)
@@byrdland5790 Totally fake looks, it's just an Edge body with black trims.
Seat leon önüne at koymuşlar 🐴
Rovinj, Croatia?
Doesnt the GT have Magna Ride? Magnetic adjustable dampers.
The Mach1 version you just spoke of with the 0-60 times is clearly the stick. The 10R80 is advertised as 3.9 or below.
@markyes the auto doesn’t have less power that it decreases it’s time by a full second. It has 453hp in Europe vs the 2021 US 480. 27hp is literally almost nothing in regards to a time difference. Maybe at most 1 or 2/10th difference. And that’s pushing it.
@markyes The 2021 US Mach1 has 480hp and 420tq. The US GT has 460hp and 420tq and does 0-60 in 3.9 with a 10R80. The European Mach1 times with a 10R80 should essentially be pretty close to the US GT times. There’s really no debate you’re just incorrect. Do you really think that 27hp makes a full second difference? It doesn’t. I’m convinced they quoted the Tremec trans times because they simply just don’t know the car they are speaking of and are just quoting numbers without familiarity.
@markyes I understand you’re not speaking about US mustangs my point is if a US GT is 460hp and a Euro Mach1 is 453hp and I believe tq difference is 10tq shouldn’t their times be very similar? Do you really think there’s a full second loss in a difference between the 2 specs with almost the exact same power and same trans?
@markyes so what you’re saying is I am probably right. I said 2/10ths at most. So I’m off by a 10th.
@markyes a ton of people buy the Mach1 with the 10R80. Where have you been? I agree it’s silly but a bunch do and it definitely outsells the manual version of the model. At least in the US.
You’ve got your numbers on wrong on the Mach 1. It’ll do it in sub 4 seconds in the auto and 4.2 in the manual.
The regular mustang travels further than the model y
Why did it have to be branded as a CUV tho?.. Should’ve been more KIA Stinger-ish..
There’s nothing wrong with the car or the more tame version, it’s just WHY did they put the Mustang name on it??? ITS NOT A MUSTANG!! Another case of the marketing department cashing in on the badges heritage and ruining it in the process
Why o why don’t Ford cut the electric mustang in half one electric motor same batteries 🔋 fiesta xr2 electric ⚡️ for 22k
I would buy that 🤩
Same here!
Wait... An electric muscle car..? In hatchback form..? Now you've got my attention!
SAME!!
It's looks get my attention, it's terrible, if it had a nice engine I could forgive it's looks, however.......
@@Markcain268 it’s us 3 very impressive motors. That are faster than the top tier ICE mustangs. I would say that makes up for the looks.
Post up your email and I’ll send you an awesome rendition of a Mach-E that my neighbor has.
@@onelogue no thanks, I don't give out my email on social media, and with all the time I've spent using, dismantling, repairing electric motors both as a child and adult, they aren't anything particularly exciting Or new to me, the fact they are are always hidden away out of sight unlike engines suggests that they are not particularly interesting
@@Markcain268 they are hidden out of site because they don’t need to easily accessible due tot heir low maintenance and being direct drive.
There nothing interesting about staring at a motor too. I’ve rebuilt many motors in vehicle that I own and hardly any manufacturer designs their motors to look “interesting”. In fact, every new car has more plastic covers to hide it.
Electric motors are “hidden” because they are direct drive. Which is the best type of performance. Gear boxes are a huge inconvenience for transferring power.
no good all the speed when the limiters come in next lol
Sick Car, not happy about the size but still a good looking car
I LOVE it! Can't wait to see the Shelby version. Seriously, this is one of the few EVs on my short list.
This guys a plank! Mache RWD EXT range just broke Gunniess World record for a production EV vehicle!! 840 miles on 1 full charge and a top up charge. John o G, to lands end ave at 6.5 miles per KW! Nice to see he does his home work!! September was the month it broke it, November review! hay ho
*If* they made it with the same body style as the *Petrol Mustang* it would make more sense to me as it is it's meh but that's just MHO.
Yes, the Model Y may have more range than this and its own charging network. But it’s also vomit inducing when you look at it. I reckon it’s worse than a Fiat Multipla.
I agree this Mach is better
How about BMW i4 m50. It is IMO better looking, more Premium and cheaper, faster, you name it.
@@sailingandsomejokes not faster than the gt or the y performance not even close. Also not the same size or price. Kind off an off comparison. Size comparison would be a 3 performance which smashes the i4 50.plus charging network advantage is definitely a huge part of ownership. Also cost to own is higher because it seems non Teslas are far less efficient which is frustrating as it increases that cost oto own closer to gas.
@@IReahpZz I agree not comparable totally, but how often you need back seat? So why should the car be bigger in size. Gt and i4 M50 have enough performance. 99% you charge car at home or at work, so you dont need often supercharger stations. And if you compare any legacy premium car maker to tesla, you find out perfect service network and they dont have genuine american plastic interior.
@@sailingandsomejokes oh as a Tesla model 3 owner I know but as for i interior the biggest place where BMW falls short compared to Tesla is seats and seat quality. All the BMW seats are just so stiff. I wouldn't mind a little more color than the Tesla interior but I did that aftermarket for about $150 with interior lighting and dash pieces. I think while you do get more bright work and more interior options that doesn't necessarily justify the $30,000 price Gap
Anyone in the radio control community has known for decades that electric is way faster than gas and more reliable
Tesla knew and requested a first move from steam!
@@semperfi-guy indeed..he knew enough to get whacked..free electricity from the earth..wireless power transmission...I'm looking forward to solid state batteries Nikola probably already had it figured out
@@Xfishf00D Never found his documents and still cold cased
He loves to hear his own voice. Not a big fan
Those brakes aren’t excessive if you’re actually going to drive fast, don’t want a situation like that new tesla…
Parts of Croatia sure do look like Millbrook, who new. Mach E.... meh.
The issue here is weight. As new generations come along battery tech will improve and electric cars will become lighter than gas counterparts. The real problem will be energy grid issues and what to do when a storm hits and power goes out.
Use a bicycle to power your Tesla battery 🤣 JK -> I can't help it, peace!
To put it another way, I don’t think this is the best Mustang from a driving experience perspective. However, in true fast Ford fashion, I think this is one of the most exciting EV’s on sale ( only completion in my opinion is the Kia EV6 GT). And of course, none technically match the Tesla, for charging (250kw/h) or performance or range, however the styling is a bit boring for my taste.
Awesome car. But, still not happy with them calling it a Mustang. People would've bought it regardless I believe.
I want one!
So depressing owning a motorcycle and tuning in just long enough to realize you're already twice as fast on decades old tech...
Too many ads. Hated it. Loved the car though.
I saw the car in the neighbourhood.
Hate the rear side, just too fat, because the small overhang, and the wheelbase too long make the proportion looks stupid from side views
you must be the only one getting 300 miles in a model Y. Pretty much everyone else is reporting 250-270 miles. And, as the AWD ER mustang has a real world range better than the model Y, as reported by everyone else, I guess the GT should have at worst the same range as the MY
It’s a Ford Mach E and that’s about it
The “ Mustang “ is a sports car not an SUV
Idk
But its not a Grand Touring car. Its more like a Crossover.
My Jaguar I-Pace SE with 400 HP and AWD beats the Mustang Mach 1 coupe too. You can't beat the instant big torque from an EV.
Everything beats my car, but I like it all the same, might not be much but does its job just fine and its all bought n paid for
Phev hellcat sounds like the ultimate drag car then
Your Jaguar is a Ford. Did you know that?
It doesn’t beat the Model 3 P or the Plaid. 😉
@@ICEV Ford hasn't owned Jaguar since 2008. The I-Pace was designed by the Jag design team in the UK.
I saw one the other day and I could not find the ford emblem
Dodge will be dropping an electric muscle car. This is just a clever marketing ploy.
It's not the 1960s/1970s and electric cars aren't muscle cars. Once the big engines are out, it's not about muscle anymore. It's marketing to call them muscle cars and the generation that was so into muscle cars are getting old now.
Nice Mustang... Beautiful too 🐎
Looks like a Jag I-Pace.
this guy saying a street car electric Mustang doesnt turn the back 😂 it´s an electric street Mustang!! safe and its gorgeous i´ve seen one live, it´s masive must be super comfy and fast!!!
Feels so much like a tesla
What do they say about poms whingeing so much?
The back is awful. The roof it's neither leads to a regular hatchback or a coupe, and the 2 tone paint to cover that mess just looks tacky. I'm looking into buying an EV and this isn't even in my considering list, let alone my shortlist. This car is very confused.
Amazing review & reviewer. More like that! And gosh didn't Ford do themselves a favor with that name on their well made but rather emotionless electric SUV.
"Emotionless"? I bet you haven't been in one or worst, driven one yet. I'm telling you, unless you just got out of Tesla Plaid, it's almost impossible not to be impressed with the accelaration of this quiet speed demon. Gave a new meaning to the automative world -> sleeper.
@@goochigoochs3836 Well… in the rest of the world we also drive curves and not only compete in a straight line… ;) (especially the plaid is ultra frightening on a track with its tendency to loose power steering in fast movements and really pushing out of curves due to it's weight…)
@@aphinion Just like I said, obviously you haven't driven one yet only on TH-cam reviews.
3.8 seconds, not 4.8. The regular GT can do it in 4 seconds.
When a TH-camr knows more of what he is saying than the presenter . 😂
It's not a muscle car it's a SUV

This is slow compared to the heavier Rivian R1T and the Model Y
This is a Ford Edge with black trims to make it look slicker, not a Mustang.
Nowadays, People only buy SUV's for Self Image more than their intended purpose. In fact, most SUV's these days can't drive off road without getting stuck in the dirt, and will likely never be used to tow a trailer, because it's all flash, and no substance.
Since when has any Mustang had four doors? Ford made an SUV and called it a Mustang.
GOOD MOVE FORD. THEIR JUST COPYING PORSCHE PRODUCT LINE-UP... BEST EXCUSE TO DO SO, IS AN ELECTRIC LINE-UP.

@@Markcain268 and cornering
@@masonkaye5 well, it is American, I never expected it to corner
If it had a Mustang body, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. But it looks like a BMW X6 and a Hyundai did some nasty things inside a Honda
I don't like performance crossovers. I don't like coupe crossovers either. And I only like regular crossovers if people use the space a good amount of time. But maybe this looks more like a coupe than it is due to how the roof is painted. This isn't a Mustang, it's an electric crossover. I believe in electric cars due to how they run and move and their smoothness. But we're way too carried away with all this nonsense of zero to 60 and "launching" cars. Who "launches" their car from a standstill in normal driving? I don't know about England, but in the USA the parking lots are full of people driving these things around as daily drivers and most people aren't using the performance. I rarely see a Tesla accelerating at any great speeds even entering the highway (I've been stuck behind many that don't know how to accelerate to highway speeds). So, yeah, there are some who go on and on about acceleration that own them, but these high performance crossovers are a flavor of the day thing that so many manufacturers are doing because so many people want crossovers and they want to be competitive. The amount of people using the performance is slim. And I'm thankful for that because the vehicles have way too much power for the driving skills of most people.
Absolutely. These are still very expensive cars bought by people with lots of money mainly of an older generation and (see c19) scared of their own shadow, so they drive everywhere slowly, not using the performance available cos they're afraid they'll run out of battery before they get to the safety of Waitroses free charger..... 3 miles away. Utterly tragic. Also, these older people don't like the intense feeling of huge acceleration, so put the the thing in 'pansy' mode. My uncle only puts his Tesla in stupid mode to make me giggle like a child. Tragic.
insightful perspective.
And I'm a camaro guy
They've completely munted it! Completely lost the thrill of the internl combustion engine and they have lost the beautiful lines of the mustng's body, by turning it into an suv!
OK obviously Ford messed up with this. The Mustang Mach E should have been an actual Mustang, not a completely different platform (crossover). Imagine an electric Mustang that is as fast or faster than a Tesla. Would have been a big hit, and really paved the way for EV.
This thing should have been called the Ford Edge EV. Wouldn't be able to leach off the Mustang for slightly increased sales tho.
Isn’t the same without the og trio
LOL think your opinion was made up before reviewing.
Lets ignore the shitty paint, bady panel fit and design of the model Y. Not to mention cost of repair due to lack of people who will/ can work on them
Let’s just ignore the dangerous blue cruise system, overheating regen braking, nightmare thermal system, crappy software and crappy charging network. Not to mention time and money that will be spent at the stealership.
