According to autocar, more (Mustang) models are being considered in the future, or to build into a high-performance sub brand. Ford has officially announced its first brand-new Mustang mach-e, the first time the Mustang brand has applied the name to a brand-new model in 55 years. The Ford development team initially worked on a different electric vehicle project, but when it decided to use the Mustang name, the project changed dramatically. Murat gueler, Ford's European design director, said the decision could lead to more new Mustang models. "Mach-e is a step toward the future without neglecting history," Geller said. The Mustang model contains a lot of emotion. It's time to make it better and spread it more widely. " It's worth noting that, to match Mustang's style, mach-e used a modified version of the pony badge instead of Ford's blue oval logo. Geller said the decision was both to strengthen ties with the Mustang and to "convey a new feeling.". He added: "we are already talking about building a car line." "The latest mach-e has reached another level of popularity in Europe, so our Mustang brand has a stronger foundation," Geller said. Mustang and 911 are the most famous in the world. Mustang is a big brand. Now it's time to electrify it. What's more, people now understand that we can succeed in doing different things for different brands. " Ford is also developing new electric vehicle projects to emulate the mach-e model, but Geller added that they will not simply produce new electric vehicles of different sizes, inspired by Mustangs. "We don't want to adopt the Russian dolly style, so you can't tell the cars apart from their size," he said. We want a sense of a new car line, in which mach-e begins to build this concept. But we will never make a smaller model - if we make a smaller vehicle, it will have different body proportions. " "Mustang mach-e was just inspired by Mustang, and the whole project started in another project around 2014," Geller said Jim Hackett, Ford's CEO, said the Ford design team redesigned Mustang mach-e, using a new architecture that was built from the beginning, rather than the one originally planned to use for internal combustion locomotives. Mustang mach-e has two versions, 288 single lithium-ion batteries and 376 single lithium-ion batteries. According to the different types of batteries, it can be divided into standard and long-range versions. You can choose the rear wheel drive or all wheel drive mode powered by permanent magnet motor. Among them, the long-range rear drive version of mach-e EPA has a endurance mileage of about 480km; the long-range full drive version of mach-e can output a maximum power of 332 horsepower and a peak torque of 565 nm. The car starts at $43895 and has a $500 down payment, which is ahead of delivery in North America and Europe in 2020. At the same time, Mustang mach-e will be introduced into China in 2021, and will provide customized products and services according to the needs of Chinese consumers. In addition, Hackett also revealed that it plans to produce the pure electric SUV in China. Hackett said he believes Mustang mach-e will have good demand in China. "China has requirements for electric vehicles, so Mustang mach-e will play a role." Mr Hackett said Ford was waiting to launch Mustang mach-e in China because "we have to make sure we're perfect" after the launch of the car in the US and Europe.
