Ford Mustang Mach-E is officially on sale, as the automaker opened order books on the mildly improved, yet also cheaper electric crossover today. Starting at $36,995 ($3,500 less than the 2024 model),

The stock car has three motors and, like the unbranded demonstrator revealed last year, is built around the current NASCAR Next Gen chassis.

Ford has introduced the Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype, a fully electric race car that aims to push the limits of EV motorsport technology.

Besides the silhouette, the Mach-E prototype eschews a decklid spoiler for a huge rear wing. As strange as it may look, we do have to give credit to Ford and NASCAR for delivering a body that legitimately looks similar to a standard Mustang Mach-E.

Ford on Thursday showed what its Mustang Mach-E electric SUV might look like as a NASCAR race car. The prototype is designed to look like a Mach-E, but is actually built around a carbon-fiber tub chassis with components from a current NASCAR Cup Series car, including the suspension, brakes, steering, and wheels, Ford said in a brief statement.

Hybrids still haven't come to NASCAR and an electric race car for the series might seem even farther off, but Ford is still thinking about it.
