Yahoo Autos Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition is nearly as quick as the GT500
The Ford Mustang Mach-E electric crossover isn't technically related to the Ford Mustang, but it can certainly accelerate like one. It will soon gain a quicker variant appropriately named Performance Edition that can nearly outsprint the mighty, 760-horsepower GT500 in a straight line.
Based on the GT trim, the Performance Edition is powered by two electric motors that make 480 horsepower and a pickup-like 634 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the regular Mach-E GT posts 480 and 600, respectively. Those figures lower its zero-to-60-mph time to 3.5 seconds, which is two-tenths of a second behind the aforementioned GT500 and three-tenths of a second quicker than the Mach-E GT it starts life as. The Performance Edition's top speed hasn't been published.
Ford built the Performance Edition on an 88-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that stores enough electricity for up to 235 miles of driving range, though that figure hasn't been certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Put another way, the 34 additional pound-feet of torque saps 15 miles of range from the Mach-E.
