Earlier this year, Ford developed an absurdly quick, 1,400-horsepower version of its electric Mustang Mach-E crossover for drag racing and drifting. And although that car was just a one-off that won't be sold to the public, the Blue Oval unveiled the next best thing this week.
Ford on Tuesday revealed the details and specs of the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - a souped-up model that will hit the market next summer as the most powerful production Mach-E yet.
Even in its non-performance-oriented trims, the Mach-E isn't slow by any means - those models launch from a standstill to 60 mph in between 4.8 and 6.1 seconds, according to Ford, and claim power ratings in the range of 266 to 346 horsepower.

But the Mach-E GT Performance Edition - announced alongside a normal GT trim - steps things up a notch. Given the details Ford released Tuesday, it appears that the new model will be every bit as quick as its biggest competitor, the Tesla Model Y Performance.
