What do y'all think about this.

Someone Seems To Be Testing Some Kind Of Mystery Racing Ford Mach-E And It Looks Like A Lot Of Fun

A secret operative near the North Carolina Center for Automotive Research test track took a little hike through the woods and discovered something pretty exciting: a very stripped-down Ford Mach-e doing donuts, drifting, tearing ass and generally hooning like a delighted loon. What’s going on...

It might be for another Ford & Ken Block partnership.

This video posted back in November hinted a project could be in the works.

Those motor(s) are screaming like crazy!

I think this is standard testing for when your teenage son borrows the car for Homecoming.

This video from InsideEvs talks quite a bit about this "spy" video in their podcast. They have inside information (it was filmed at the track they own in North Carolina). In summary: It is not actually a "secretly filmed spy video"; it was completely staged as such for, apparently, a marketing ploy. The car itself is real though. Because of non-disclosure agreements, they can't say exactly what it is, but hinted heavily it is a ford vehicle and either produced directly by Ford, or through a partnership. My guess is that @machstang is correct; it is a racing partnership with Ken Block to make a racing car version of the Mustang Mach-E.

The stunt driving style gave it away, Ken Block is one of the very few that pulls those moves.

That video is clearly intentionally bad. My inner skeptic says it is one of the employees trying to make it look like kids sneaking in to watch like a scene from Porky's or something.

Yeah, it looks staged. But the car is still awesome!

 

[ChasingCoral]

Nah. They're just doing the EPA mileage test

The competition gets rid of their body parts by driving thru puddles. (Not staged)

If that's true I can't wait to see all the Hoonigan videos they do with it.

Yeah the more I look at it the more it looks too good to be true.

So, on July 21, we will get to see what this Modified GT Performance will do.

My guess is that the motors and battery, maybe even suspension, will be GT stock. but the roll-cage and cooling is what was modified. In an effort to ‘demonstrate’ the power of the GT Performance version.

I would like to see it perform with the MagneRide suspension. I've driven some really cool performance cars and the GM/Delphi suspension is incredible and Ferrari apparently agrees since they adopted it . The Caddy CTS V 6.2 liter, station wagons handled like sports cars and the 6.2 liter Sedan/Saloon model did the Nurnberg Ring in 7:58 minutes.

I'm glad to be proven wrong about this! Sounds like the Mach-E will be joined by its Mustang siblings.
