The electric Ford Mustang Mach-E outsold the two-door Mustang for the first time in 2024 and now it’s moving in

Ford on Thursday showed what its Mustang Mach-E electric SUV might look like as a NASCAR race car. The prototype is designed to look like a Mach-E, but is actually built around a carbon-fiber tub chassis with components from a current NASCAR Cup Series car, including the suspension, brakes, steering, and wheels, Ford said in a brief statement.

While Ford has yet to release details of the Mach-E NASCAR, it will likely share similar characteristics of the NASCAR EV that was demonstrated in Chicago. The EV accelerated twice as fast as gas-powered NASCARs but suffered in corners due to its extra battery weight.

Ford has introduced the Mustang Mach-E NASCAR prototype, a fully electric race car that aims to push the limits of EV motorsport technology.

Hybrids still haven't come to NASCAR and an electric race car for the series might seem even farther off, but Ford is still thinking about it.

The stock car has three motors and, like the unbranded demonstrator revealed last year, is built around the current NASCAR Next Gen chassis.
