It’s a bright yellow, racing stripped adorned, lifted, massively wing’d, rally fog light equipped….EV!
The Mach E Rally isn’t just some sticker’d up marketing gimmick from Ford. They took a page out of the Porsche/Lambo/Leh Keen playbook and a legitimate rally machine:
Using a Mach E GT Performance as a base
Lifted the suspension
Retuned the adaptive suspension with a dedicated ‘Rally mode’
Added skidplates underneath
Bolted on offroad wheels and more aggressive tires
Bolted on a WRC inspired rear wing
Added Rally inspired Foglights
Added aggressive, hard backed front seats
Walking up to the Mach E Rally just makes you smile and driving it makes you laugh out loud. Because this is an EV you don’t carefully teeter over speedbumps or pot holes, this is an EV you boud over anything in and keep on truckin’ away!
This is an EV that makes you look at an empty gravel lot and go: Why the frack not?
As you Colin McRae yourself into an impending Trespassing ticket, you can have solace in the fact this is an EV that looks better caked in gravel dust and dirt. The white wheels inspire late 90s Rally Inspired tomfoolery and we are all better because of it. Hell, you feel better because of it. Heck, people around you gawk and smile because of this car!
Seriously. I have never had an EV I have tested that I have been asked about this most. From people literally running across the street, to people yelling at me at traffic lights and giving a ‘thumbs up’. This Mach E Rally, for once, makes driving an EV feel…cool
Case in point: One elderly gentleman on a bicycle, pedalled over to me as I was getting in said the following:
‘‘Man, that is cool. It looks like what we did back in the 70s! With the yellow paint and those racing stripes! Wow! I like it. Very cool man…very cool’’
Very cool indeed.
This Mach E Rally is so good that if you’re in the market for a Mach E GT, skip over the ‘plain’ GT and head straight over the Rally. It’s worth every single penny.
