Ford Super Mustang Mach-E

Leave a comment

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb takes place on Sunday, June 22, and Ford has prepared its car for its return to one of the toughest races. It is the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E, which will be driven by famous driver Romain Dumas.

The Super Mustang Mach-E has undergone certain changes to adapt to the conditions of the extremely difficult track. The roofline has been redesigned, and combined with the openings behind the front wheel arches, it contributes to downforce of almost 2.8 tons. Negative camber has been made, the body has been strengthened, new splitters and a large rear wing have been added, which increases the car’s handling for this type of track.

When it comes to the powertrain, Ford has not yet announced anything. However, many believe that the company could opt for three electric motors with 1,600 hp, which was the case with the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck model that was used previously.

Ford announces upgrade for Mustang Mach-E

Four years ago, Ford introduced the Mustang Mach-E, its first crossover, and last year a refreshed version arrived with a range of over 900 km. Now the company is announcing a series of improvements for this model.

Since its arrival on the market, the Mustang Mach-E has started to achieve good results, and so far it has sold almost 100k Mustang Mach-Es. However, few could have expected that in 2024 it would surpass the legendary Mustang model in sales.

Ford has published a list of improvements that include three new exterior colors (Velocity Blue, Molten Magenta and Terrain), a black insert added to the front bumper as a limiter, a revised wheelbase. The GT version will get a new black front grille, while versions with the Premium package will get 19″ alloy wheels. All versions will get a heat pump.

The car’s interior will get a new interface for the Sync 4A multimedia system, and a change in the positions of some controls. The gear selector has been moved from the center console to the steering column, and the wiper and indicator controls have been moved to a single lever.

Hennessey Super Venom based on the Mustang Dark Horse

American company Hennessey Performance has unveiled its latest Super Venom project. It is an upgrade package for the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and Mustang GT. Only 91 units will be produced.

This project is somewhat different from those that Hennessey has presented so far. The Super Venom is equipped with the VenomAero equipment kit made of carbon fiber, which includes a front splitter, a ventilation opening on the hood, functional openings on the front fenders, sports sills, mirror housings, a new trunk lid with an integrated spoiler and a fixed rear wing. The handling and grip have been upgraded, so now drivers can count on greater safety on the road or track at high speeds. Customers can choose between three liveries in black, silver and red.

The interior has not been changed much. There are leather and Alcantara seats with embossed backrests, floor mats, as well as a numbered plaque on the dashboard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Super Venom is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 862 hp and 880 Nm of torque. This is a 70% increase in power compared to the Dark Horse, which was achieved thanks to improved injectors, a new engine management system, a high-performance supercharger, a high-flow air intake system and a new fuel pump. This allows the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds.

Speaking of price, the Mustang GT-based Super Venom costs $149,950, while the upgraded Dark Horse is slightly more expensive at $163,950.
