Ford shows off full EV line-up at Goodwood FOS

Ford is displaying its all-electric European future at this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, entering the renowned event with electric-only models.

Although in its infancy, Ford’s EV model line-up is already making waves in the automotive world, with its Mustang Mach-E crossover striking a unique chord with enthusiasts and the environmentally conscious.

The recently unveiled Mach-E GT will be making an appearance on Lord March’s front lawn, as will its stripped-out sibling, the Mustang Mach‑E 1400.

The 1400 is powered by lithium-ion battery packs which produce a total of 1044kW (1400hp).

This insane power is sent to all four wheels through seven electric motors, turning the 1400 into a tyre-shredding machine like no other.

Ford will also be globally debuting its wild-looking Team Fordzilla P1 concept race car at Goodwood.

Collaboratively created by Ford designers and the online gaming community, the Fordzilla P1 is the first of its kind from the automaker.

According to Ford, roughly 250,000 fans took to Twitter to vote on elements of the vehicle’s design including the seating position, cockpit, and drivetrain.

“To build cars that customers love, you first need to truly understand what customers want. We’ve taken that thinking to extremes with the Team Fordzilla P1 race car, and we’ve applied the same innovative approach to creating our Puma ST Gold Edition which customers will actually be able to order later this year,” Amko Leenarts, director of design for Ford of Europe, said.

“It’s exactly this kind of human-centred design which is going to take us to a whole new level of fun-to-drive in the electrified era.”

The news of Ford’s EV-only line-up at the FOS comes hot off the heels of the Blue Oval’s recent pledge that by 2030 all of its passenger vehicles in Europe will be all-electric.

Ford has also committed more than $US1billion (AU$1.34bn) of investment in a new electric vehicle manufacturing centre in Cologne, France, which will open in 2023.
