Ford Mach-F sedan imagined

Ford has confirmed its intention to leverage the legendary Mustang nameplate for models beyond its iconic coupe and convertible muscle-cars, so why not something like this?

An all-electric, low-slung four-door sports car could repair the damage that many rusted-on fans insist Ford has done to ‘brand Mustang’ via the introduction of the Ford Mustang Mach-E – the first-ever Mustang SUV.

Potentially pitched as a rival to the Porsche Taycan, this high-performance flight of fantasy would seat four and get them from A to B in record time… and probably wouldn’t cost at least $190K like the ground-breaking Porker.

Rendered by Emre Husmen, the ‘liftback’ Ford Mustang Mach-F sedan is a stylised take on the Mustang coupe design, but was also inspired by the BMW M8 Gran Coupe.

Ford has made no secret of its desire to expand what is now a Mustang sub-brand and while the Mach-E is the first real-world spin-off, expect more to come – including a battery-powered Mustang coupe.

Whatever new models eventuate within the expanding Mustang EV family, one thing is for sure – they will be potent.

Entry-level rear-drive model-grades of the Ford Mustang Mach-E pump out 198kW/429Nm – more than most high-end turbo hot hatches – while top-spec AWD versions get a massive 258kW/580Nm.

Oh, and don’t forget the hero model – the Mach-E GT, which belts out a tyre-shredding, lag-free 342kW of power and 830Nm of torque.

The Ford Mustang coupe is hugely popular in Australia and the chief engineer of the Mach-E told carsales the go-fast electric SUV was also designed as a global model, for markets including Australia.

However, the big question remains when it – or any Mustang EV – will come Down Under.
