Not only did it take the Mustang name and slap it on an SUV but that SUV also happened to be electric. You couldn\u2019t get further from the original connotation of the legendary Mustang name, a name that is associated with the world\u2019s most famous series of muscle car dating back to the 60s.Well, power-thirsty muscle car enthusiasts may be appeased a little bit more knowing that Ford has made a one-off Mach-E with enough horsepower to shred a set of tyres quicker than you can say \u2018yee-haw\u2019.With a whopping 1,400 bhp and 7 electric motors, the \u2018Mustang Mach-E 1400\u2019 has over twice the horsepower of a Ford GT and a Ford GT\u2019s-worth more horsepower than the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.Sure, horsepower is all well and good but without traction, it\u2019s all good for nothing, which is why the Mustang Mach-E 1400 also produces more than 1,000 kg of downforce at 160mph. The car was not built to race in any particular series and therefore, it does not adhere to any rules, giving Ford total freedom to make the most bonkers super SUV possible.The Mach-E 1400 is the result of a collaboration between Ford Performance and RTR (a tuning company previously responsible for some equally-insane Mustangs) spanning over 10,000 hours. Rather than being built to race, this one-off monster was built as a bit of a PR stunt, with Ford aiming to subvert the public\u2019s expectations when it comes to electric cars, showing us all that electric cars can be tuned to bonkers power levels too!Unlike any other electric car, this one also has 7 electric motors, which is 5 more than what\u2019s found on the production Mach-E GT. Three at the front, four at the back, all to help deliver the absurd amount of power to the wheels.Mark Rushbrook, motorsports director at Ford Performance admitted it was hard to deliver such levels of power:\u201cThe challenge was controlling the extreme levels of power provided by the seven motors\u2026 Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a showcase of the art of the possible with an electric vehicle.\u201dThe chassis and powertrain are highly adjustable, allowing the team to change the car\u2019s set up for drag racing, drifting, circuit racing and so on. Delivery can be configured to FWD, RWD or AWD and steering can be adjusted to allow for extreme angles – very useful for drifting.As well as an excellent bit of marketing for electric cars, the Mach-E 1400 also serves as a testbed for new materials that Ford are engineering, such as the organic composite fibres that the bonnet is made from.The most overzealous electric SUV is set to debut at a NASCAR race \u2018soon\u2019 and with Ford investing over $11.5 billion in electric vehicles, we could even get a Ford electric supercar sometime in the future.Let us know what you think about the Mustang Mach-E 1400 in the comments.If you enjoyed this, you may also like: New Maserati Ghibli Uses Hybrid 2.0-Litre Engine"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"1,400 hp Mustang Mach-E","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-1400-hp-mustang-mach-e\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
