Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E GT hits 100 km/h in 3.73 s versus 9.69 s for the Kuga EcoBoost 150. The instant torque of 860 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E GT leads by 5.96 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT is doing 152 km/h against 107 km/h for the Kuga EcoBoost 150. The gap is 3.52 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Mustang Mach-E GT crosses the line in 11.99 s versus 17.21 s. The 5.21 s gap represents roughly 178 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT finishes in 22.87 s versus 31.29 s, with a 8.42 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 202 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the Mustang Mach-E GT never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.19 seconds. The 5.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Mustang Mach-E GT wins (3,73 s vs 9,69 s).
