Someone was able to access Ford's Mustang Mach E reservation page ahead of the reveal, giving us several the key details and numerous images
The Ford Mustang Mach E Has Been Leaked And It's Quicker Than A V8 GT

Remember that contentiously-named Ford ‘Mustang Mach E’ which was officially christened this week? It’s effectively been revealed in full several days before you’re supposed to see it. By Ford.

Ford’s dedicated site for reserving the car went live early, and although the page was hidden, a Mach E forum member was able to access it after playing around with different URLs. The website shows the car from all angles, and even more awkwardly, some key details. It’s now been taken down, but not before screen grabs were taken and picked up by the world’s motoring media.

The page shows that the Mach E will be available in five flavours in the USA, starting with the ‘Select’ for $43,895. It can be specced in either all or rear-wheel drive forms, is estimated to have an EPA-rated range of 230 miles, and can do 0-62mph in the mid-five-second range when specced with AWD.

The $50,600 Premium Mach E has the same targeted 0-60mph time, but it’ll be able to do it whether you opt for all-wheel drive or not. It comes on 19-inch wheels compared to the Select’s 18s and has an EPA estimated range of 300 miles.

The California Route 1 will set you back $52,400, sits on 18-inch wheels, and has an estimated range of 300 miles. Intended to be the long-distance cruiser of the bunch (hence the name), it’s slower than the Select and the Premium with a mid-six-second 0-60mph time.

There’s a First Edition coming in at $59,900 with a range of 270 miles and similar straight-line performance to the Select and Premium, and finally, a $60,500 GT. Yep, Ford has gone there. It’s comfortably quicker than the V8-powered ‘proper’ Mustang GT with a mid-three-second 0-60, but it has the lowest range of the quintet at 235 miles. These final two are only available with all-wheel drive.

So the Mach E certainly has the right kind of go to live up to the Mustang name, and there are more styling cues to the Pony Car than expected. But does that just make the whole thing seem all the more cynical? We’ll let you thrash that one out in the comments.

As much as I love fast cars in general, I’m starting to get very tired of all these fast EV’s. As for the looks, it appears that a Jaguar I-Pace shrunk in the wash.

Pretty generic overall: interior looks like a model 3, front looks like an etron, rear Looks like a mustang(duh). Would it be to hard to make something original?

I’m sorry but I will never be able to get excited about this lump of crossover awfulness, even if it could go at the speed of light and corner faster than an Eurofighter jet

Styling-wise, I quite like this. However, I do wish they’d applied this styling and nameplate to an electric version of the Mustang coupe, not this crossover rubbish.

If it was an electric coupe that looked like this, I’d be all for it!

Better than i expected but it’s still a pointless SUV, so no thanks.

Let’s just ignore all the unwarranted hate here for a second, it’s a fantastic car. Quick, relatively affordable and bonus EV points I guess. Not every manufacturer can warrant making high hp, manual RWD cars these days for the general public and frankly this isn’t targeted towards “enthusiasts”, we will always stick to 20 year old sh!tboxes. Naming is quite sh!te but so is a Taycan “Turbo S”.
