  • Cross a Mustang Mach-E with a Subaru WRX and you get the Rally. Ford starts with the updated performance bits of the 2024 GT, then adds an inch of lift, underbody protection, rally wheels with optimized tires and a Cessna sized wing. Perfect for getting to the trail head or running forest service roads at speed. Tom Voelk checks it out at DirtFish Rally School in Snoqualmie, WA with head instructor Jack Harrison. Pay attention, Jack’s tips will make you a better driver.
    Tom attended a Ford sponsored event to produce this video. Opinions remain his own.

    An interesting take on the Mach E, I think they look quite good, nice colors and graphics. Kind of gimmicky but not too ricey! Love almost all your videos, but the ones from Dirtfish have a special appeal. Rarely see other auto journalist reports from the that off the beaten path spot.

    14:49 - Tom there's not enough information on this new rear motor from ANY of the other outlets so i'm going to ask you, what EXACTLY is the difference (ie. HP/TQ/kW) between this new motor Vs. the old motor produced by Borg Warner. this data seems to be conspicuously ABSENT. also where the heck's the differential located...? has it been placed inside the rotor like a Lucid...? tucked inside the planetary...? yeah far too much is being skipped over about this new DU and inquiring minds want to know. thanks Voelkmeister.🤙

    • @DrivenCarReviews
      @DrivenCarReviews  Месяц назад +1

      Let me start you off with an image of the motor in an exploded view. drive.google.com/file/d/1B7PWtAxKsAvGKh1tiTZvrbJFU1utrWs5/view?usp=share_link
      It's not as elegant as the Lucid units which are insanely compact. The new motor (taken from the Lightning) makes 264 HP and 387 lb-ft and can sustain peak power longer than the outgoing version that was normally rated at 255 HP and 306 lb-ft. The old one could develop additional power in some applications but again, it struggled to maintain full oomph on the track. Not sure how much more the new one can sustain but they were being pushed hard at DirtFish. Hope this helps.

      @@DrivenCarReviews re: "Hope this helps." A: it does thank you. 👍 okay from the exploded view i see the diff (for the Lightning) does appear to be placed inside the planetary now, instead of hanging off the end which technically made the old Borg supplied DU wider. edit: now we just gotta get somebody to do a review (with weights and measures) of the new single motor base LFP Mach-E. 😎

    Tom, is more expensive with less range the wrong direction to take an EV? Some (Ford) will argue that the Rally has more capability; which is not a lie, but on one's daily commute, how many muddy dirt roads is one going to encounter to use the new potential of the Rally trim? When is the more affordable, longer range Mach-E hitting showrooms?

    • @DrivenCarReviews
      @DrivenCarReviews  Месяц назад +1

      It’s the same with ICE cars. Most people don’t need the extra capability of a performance vehicle (which comes with inefficiencies and trade offs) but want it for whatever reason.

    Sooo, being the most inefficient Mach-E, do those smart Ford engineers know where to go to recharge the thing when you've drained the battery off-road rallying? Better chance of finding a gas station off the beaten path than a charge port, let alone a fast charger. Nice idea, but still waiting for an infrastructure that is a decade away.
