So, hello everybody! How are you doing? Finally, we have the chance to drive the new
Mustang Mach-E GT, which means almost 500 hp and over 800 newton meters of torque.
Yeah, it's a very, very nice car, specifically from the interior design. High quality feeling,
a nice, huge touchscreen, which also works very well. Easy to operate, very slick and smooth
everything. And also from the outside, you have seen it, a very nice design, specifically in this
nice blue color, which is very similar actually to the blue that we also had on our Focus RS
in 2016-2017, when we had the car. But, of course, you are now here because we want to find out how
fast the car goes on the country road first, 0 to 100, and later on also 100 to top speed
on the autobahn. Of course, we will not try it out on this gravel here,
but find open pace on the country road here. Bear in mind that the factory numbers, which
are being presented by Ford, the 3.7 seconds to 100 is in that American counting with a
one-foot rollout function turned on. Of course, we always turn it off because we want the real
0 to 100 kilometers per hour, and therefore, yeah, it should be something like in the low
four seconds, I guess, the result, the realistic result in the end. Of course, we will put it into
the sport mode. Actually, I have to get the gloves off to put it into the sport mode.
We have untamed mode, which is temperament mode in German, and there's also a version untamed plus,
but it's only for the racetrack. I think it's just reduced ESC and not really more power.
Without further talking, let's find out what this box is showing us in the end. Everything is on,
everything is full power, braking because we're going in town, 4.1 seconds, totally flat,
so that's already the corrected time. Yeah, on point, I would say, pretty much what we would
expect. Okay, let's head out onto the autobahn and see what's coming next. So, back from the
autobahn, I think in the end, we've seen some pretty interesting things. First of all, the
a bit more than four seconds to 100 is what you would expect. 3.7 is the number with rollout,
and yeah, 4.1 or something like that would be the number without rollout, so that fits perfectly
well. Also, I have the feeling that the power is not really dropping based on the state of charge,
so even with 50% state of charge, the acceleration is always very, very strong. Secondly, of course,
you have seen on the autobahn, and you have seen it with some other YouTubers and tests as well,
that the performance from 100 to 200 is quite difficult. First of all, I thought, okay,
it's dropping power at the top end, and it's never reaching that 200 on GPS, but that's wrong.
It's only the case if you keep your foot on the throttle for the entire time and, yeah,
accelerate from 0 to 206, whatever, on speedo. Then, it starts dropping at 190, and it gets slower.
Once you lift the foot from the acceleration and put it down again, usually, it pulls very strong.
That's something you also realize once you're driving fast on the autobahn, and every time
that you're at 180 already driving and then mashing the throttle, it pulls very strong to up
to 206 or 207 on the speedometer. That means GPS 200 kilometers per hour speed. But once you're,
let's say, being on constant throttle, as saying, it doesn't do it. So, it's not a lack of power,
I would say. It's more, yeah, some electronic limitation that probably, yeah, helping the
system to maintain its temperature, and therefore, under real-life conditions, you are totally fine.
You always have full power, more or less, but for this test that you want to do 100 to 200 at
full throttle, you realize that the number is very high or it's never reaching the 200 kilometers
at that moment. So, yeah, interesting finding. Nevertheless, the entire picture of the car is
very good. I mean, despite, let's say, that lack of high-speed performance, yeah, the driving
position is good, the interior quality is good, the cabin is very nice, premium feel, outside look
is one of the best, I would say, for modern electric cars these days, specifically the GT model or the
GT rims, which are open. So, I overall like the car. This is my summary, I have to say.
It's also an emotional part. The sound could be a bit louder and also there could be sound outside,
yes, but nevertheless, I think overall it's a very good package and, yeah, from an emotional
perspective, I would even rank it above a Kia EV6 GT, at least from what we have seen so far,
and also interior is nicer than a Kia EV6 GT. Yeah, without further saying, this is the
observations we did today. Stay tuned for the other stuff that's coming also Instagram and,
yeah, talk to you soon!
