Electrification is no longer just a niche trend—it's rapidly making its way to the mainstream. EVs were once seen solely as economical, sustainable alternatives to internal combustion engines. Now, they're stepping up in high-performance roles too, from sleek electric sports cars to jaw-dropping supercars. Even in racing, electric vehicles are starting to make their mark.
Ford is riding this wave with their Mustang Mach-E in the US. This isn’t your average family crossover; it’s been transformed into a fully electric NASCAR prototype. With a 78kWh battery powering three electric motors, it’s like the Mach-E suddenly hit the gym and bulked up. All of this is wrapped in a full carbon-fiber tub—making it a cool mix of everyday practicality and race-ready design.
The Mach-E prototype even borrows the NASCAR Cup Series car’s suspension, brakes, steering setup, and wheels. That means it’s not just about looking fast—it’s built to perform on the track. While it remains a demonstrator for now, the specs hint at some serious potential when it hits the banked ovals. Imagine a crossover with the heart of a race car—exciting, right?
For a bit of extra context, NASCAR unveiled an electric prototype last year in collaboration with Ford, Toyota, and Chevy. That machine packed an astonishing 1,000kW (about 1,341hp). Although NASCAR is still committed to the roar of V8 engines, they're taking steps to decarbonize their footprint by 2035. It’s fun to see these electric powertrains pushing the limits, even if they’re not quite replacing traditional race cars just yet.
While Ford hasn’t rolled out any EV offerings here in the Philippines, it’s only a matter of time before we see them in our showrooms. Ready to jump into the future?
