Just what the mechanical differences will be from the other Mach-Es, however, remains unclear. In that context, blending in a little rally-themed magic for an off-road Mach-E makes plenty of sense. Why? “Because sales of EVs are growing much more rapidly there than in the USA,” said Aaron Shelby, grandson of Carroll and a board member at the company, in April. Ford even created a limited-run Shelby Mach-E package for Europe this spring with help from partner Shelby American. More than 50,000 of the electric SUVs have been sold there since early 2021 and while Ford trimmed the Mach-E’s price at home to respond to market pressures earlier this year, it didn’t do the same in Europe. Europeans love rallying and they also really like the Mach-E. Since most Americans don’t follow the World Rally Championship (WRC) very closely, this theme might seem a little incongruous, but Ford is being very intentional here.
