We like

  • Plenty of practicality and a respectable real-world range
  • Comparable performance with any similarly priced sports saloon
  • Electronic torque-vectoring enlivens lower-speed handling

We don't like

  • Controls feel a bit numb and lack fine-tuning
  • Outright grip and close body control are unremarkable
  • It's priced like a premium option but lacks (some) premium qualities

Back in 2020, while Ford was still whetting appetites and building interest in its first series-production EV, the Mustang Mach-E, you might remember that it made a bit of a splash - and plenty of smoke - with a one-off, four-wheel-drive demonstration vehicle' called the Mach-E 1400. Driven at various events that year by drift ace Vaughn Gittin Jr, the car's mission was “to showcase the art of the possible for an electric car". With seven motors and nearly 1400bhp, it certainly did that.

Compared with prototypes, of course, production cars are born more out of the arts of the achievable and commercially viable. Our question this week, then, is whether Ford's range-topping, road-going performance version of the Mach-E, the Mach-E GT, can follow in the wheel tracks of that 2020 prototype or whether it will wilt in comparison.
