Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E GT hits 100 km/h in 3.73 s versus 8.36 s for the 5 Long Range FWD. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E GT leads by 4.63 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT is doing 152 km/h against 121 km/h for the 5 Long Range FWD. The gap is 3.19 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 16.27 s. The 4.28 s gap represents roughly 164 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 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT finishes in 22.87 s versus 29.07 s, with a 6.20 s lead.
The Mustang Mach-E GT features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 5 Long Range FWD’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Mustang Mach-E GT is capped at 200 km/h, the 5 Long Range FWD at 185 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.33 kg/hp vs 8.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.50 seconds. The 4.63 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 8,36 s).
Mustang Mach-E GT goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,73 seconds (calibrated simulation).
