A suspension lift, a unique drive mode, and a Focus RS–inspired rear spoiler transform the electric crossover into a fishtailing gravel-course performer.
Tucked into the lush forest landscape of Washington's Snoqualmie Valley—on the site of a former sawmill you may recognize from cult TV classic Twin Peaks—is DirtFish Rally School. A gravel playground for rally racing enthusiasts, the facility is usually overrun by modified Subaru BRZs and WRXs, but we're here to sample a different sort of dirt-oriented performance vehicle: the electric Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally.
Without the exclusive RallyCross drive mode engaged, the crossover's stability- and traction-control systems work against the driver to limit the fun. But with RallyCross turned on, the Mach-E Rally can easily be coaxed into lurid, muddy slides. A low center of gravity helps with mid-slide stability, and the motors' instant torque delivery makes blasting up to speed before the next corner a breeze. There being 700 pound-feet at the ready doesn't hurt either.
