Mustang Mach-E reached 916.74 km on a single charge

In April, Ford introduced a refreshed edition of its first all-electric crossover, the Mustang Mach-E, with a longer range than its predecessor. Now the car has achieved a truly remarkable result by traveling 916.74 kilometers on a single battery charge, a new world record for a production EV.

For this venture, Ford chose the Mach-E Premium Extended Range RWD driven by Kevin Booker and Sam Clarke. The plan was to cover as much distance as possible within 24 hours on one battery charge, and they chose the route of Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire. They wanted to simulate conditions in the real world, so they used urban and rural roads. They also used several methods to prove their success, including independently verified footage, watch readings, GPS data, and battery level information downloaded from Webfleet.

The car was equipped with a 91 kWh battery that provides a range of 600 kilometers (WLTP). However, in order to achieve the record, the team made a few changes, such as fitting a set of 18″ wheels instead of 19″, wrapped in low-rolling-resistance Bridgestone tires that helped generate extra kilometers.

The longest distance traveled by a vehicle with one battery charger is muc022. It is about a vehicle constructed by students, which achieved a range of 2,573.79 km last year.

Ford Mustang stays loyal to the V8 engine

In 1964, Ford introduced a series of cars with, currently, the longest manufactured nameplate, the Ford Mustang. After six decades and six generations of this model, Ford still remains loyal to the V8 engine, despite the fact that most manufacturers have completely abandoned internal combustion engines.

The seventh generation will be powered by a 5-liter naturally aspirated Coyote V8 engine with 486 – 500 hp (362 – 373 kW), depending on the market. The Mustang is an icon of the American auto industry and has been one of the best-selling sports cars for years, and soon it could get a GTD version based on the Mustang GT3 racer. The GT3 was developed in cooperation with M-Sport and is powered by the Coyote engine-based 5.4L naturally aspirated V8. However, the GTD will be powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine with more than 800 hp (597 kW).

Their main competitors in the American market, Chevrolet and Dodge do not share the same opinion when it comes to V8 engines. The Camaro and Challenger models are no longer available with this type of engine, leaving muscle car fans without the sound of their thunder.

Last summer, Ford introduced the fully electric Mustang Mach-E Rally powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total output of 480 hp (353 kW) and 652 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque. This caused a lot of resentment among fans of this model, and Ford tried to calm it down a bit with the Ford Mustang EcoBoost model, which is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 315 hp (235 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque.

Mustang Mach-E SSP

After introducing its first all-electric Mustang Mach-E model, Ford has now unveiled a police version of this car called the Mustang Mach-E SSP.

The car was made for England’s Metropolitan Police Force, which will test its capabilities. With more interior space, significantly lower maintenance costs and zero-emission operation, it has attracted the attention of police administrations in the UK.

The body of the Mustang is painted in British police colors, with police markings. It is equipped with the MagneRide Damping System, an adaptive suspension technology that ensures drivers with an exciting and comfortable ride.

The first all-electric Mustang is powered by two electric motors with 480 hp (358 Kw) and 634 lb-ft (860 Nm) of torque. Accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. It is equipped with an 88 kWh extended range battery pack that produces enough juice for a range of 260 miles (419 kilometers).

It rides on 20-inch machined-face aluminum wheels with high-gloss Ebony Black-painted pockets paired with 245 / 45R20 Pirelli tires.

Ford has also, in the past, supplied police with its Mustang SSP models. Each police car was equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine with additional durability and functionality upgrades, to successfully serve its purpose.
