The China-spec Mach-E will measure 4739 mm x 1881 mm x 1623 mm in dimensions and get a wheelbase measuring 2984 mm. It will have an estimated range of over 600 kilometers on a single charge. The electric pony car has been tuned using Ford’s racing simulator and inherits the Mustang family's sportscar performance.
Ford will also localize production of Mach-E's GT performance edition in the country. The high performance edition will feature a front and rear dual-motor layout and will sprint from 0-100km/h in nearly three seconds.
With localizing the production of its electric pony in the world's biggest EV market, Ford has taken a significant step towards its electrification goal. It has plans to investment more than $11.5 billion in electric vehicle development through 2022.
