RaceRoom Racing Experience has released a new car in the form of the Ford Mustang Mach E 1400.
Sector 3 Studios has been hard at work bringing new cars and tracks to RaceRoom Racing Experience. Recently they’ve added the Circuit Paul Armagnac and the resplendent Mercedes AMG GT4 2020 to the sim, and they’ve teased the release of Assen circuit.
But today’s release came as a surprise to most in the sim racing community. The Ford Mustang Mach E 1400 was added to the RaceRoom Store. This is a one-off track and drift car designed by Ford Performance and RTR. And there’s a twist. The 1,400-horsepower car is all-electric. It’s a one-off project, and the car has only been driven by a select few drivers.
The car houses seven electric motors and a 56.8-kilowatt-hour battery made up of nickel manganese cobalt pouch cells. The aero fit-out includes a massive rear wing and large canards fitted to the front of the car. The combined efforts of the aero pieces and the motors propelling the car to 160 miles per hour produces roughly 2,300 pounds of downforce.
In sim, the has many of the characteristics we’ve come to expect from an electric performance car. The instantly available torque produces staggering acceleration, but the weight of the batteries ultimately limits its cornering possibilities. This is less of an issue for the Mach E 1400 given that the car was never touted to be a lap record breaking machine, but rather a fun toy capable of impressive feats in the hands of someone like Vaughn Gittin Jr.
Sector 3 has done a great job translating that level of fun into RaceRoom. It won’t fit into any race series, and the all-electric speed title in RaceRoom will remain with the Volkswagen ID. R, but for those looking for a fun escape this could be a good option. Given the limited battery life of the car, the best way to enjoy the car may be in Time Trial mode which removes fuel consumption for the session.
The Ford Mustang Mach E 1400 is now for sale through the RaceRoom Store. If you’ve tried this car or have any thoughts related to it, share them in the comments below.
