Performance: Gas-Powered Muscle vs. Electric Innovation

The Ford Mustang is legendary for a reason. With multiple engine options—including the 2.3L EcoBoost® and the powerful 5.0L V8 in the GT—it delivers classic American muscle car performance. With rear-wheel drive and a roar that turns heads, it’s built for thrill-seekers.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E reinvents Mustang performance with an all-electric drivetrain. Depending on the trim, it offers up to 480 horsepower and instant torque for thrilling acceleration. With available all-wheel drive and up to 320 miles of range, it brings modern efficiency to Mustang performance.
