Ford also claims that the chassis and powertrain work together for a multitude of setups offering capability unlike any other vehicle. The Ford design team and RTR used many of the same tools Ford uses for its race cars and production programs. Aerodynamics are optimized for shape and location, with a focus on cooling ducts, front splitter, dive planes and rear wing.

The 56.8-kilowatt-hour battery (installed) is made up of nickel manganese cobalt pouch cells for ultra-high performance and high discharge rate. It is designed to be cooled during charging using a di-electric coolant, decreasing the time needed between runs.

There is also an electronic brake booster that allows series regenerative braking along with ABS and stability control to enhance the braking system. The Mach-E 1400 gets Brembo rakes, like the Mustang GT4, and a hydraulic handbrake system.
