Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:- The 2024 Mustang Mach-E Rally is reviewed on dirt rally courses at DirtFish Rally School.
- The Mach-E Rally has a 91-kilowatt hour usable battery pack.
- The Rally edition comes standard with new upgraded lighting. There is no longer a base version.
- The Rally edition is more expensive than the GT edition.
- Ford engineers implemented a new rear motor and the 2024 version has better sustained power.
- It uses the same suspension architecture: front McPherson strut and rear multi-link.
- There is about one inch of lift from the tires and the suspension setup overall.
- It features custom drive modes and a bespoke Rally software mode. Performance Unbridled can activate rally sport mode, and this limits the max power of the power train to ensure thermal endurance for longer durations of driving.
- Brembo brakes from the GT version have been implemented.
- The tires are off-the-shelf Michelin Cross Climate 2.
- The review finds that the car is a lot of fun to drive.
- One problem is still thermal endurance.
- Another issue discovered was that, although “full off,” the vehicle does not fully turn off traction control.
- The testers noted that when power was maximized, the car's GPS lost calibration.
- The tester would add custom drive modes.
- Overall, the Mach-E Rally is fun to drive and they liked that the car was well-planned.
- The car is easier to handle than expected due to how low the weight is.
