Ford has confirmed that the standard range RWD model will produce 266 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, improving the previous figures of 255 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque. The extended range RWD version will deliver 290 horsepower, up by 8 horsepower than previous figures, and 317 pound-feet of torque. The top-end AWD extended range will produce 346 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque.

“We remain dedicated to delivering on the promise of the Mustang name," said Ron Heiser, Mustang Mach-E chief program engineer. “These better-than-estimated performance figures show that our team is squeezing every last bit of performance out of this vehicle so that it not only delivers Mustang style but Mustang soul as well."
