Mustang Mach-E GT vs EX40 Twin Motor AWD: chronicle of a drag race at 200 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E GT hits 100 km/h in 3.73 s versus 4.93 s for the EX40 Twin Motor AWD. The instant torque of 860 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E GT leads by 1.19 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT is doing 152 km/h against 144 km/h for the EX40 Twin Motor AWD. The gap is 0.96 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 13.14 s. The 1.15 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT finishes in 22.87 s versus 25.14 s, with a 2.27 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Mustang Mach-E GT is capped at 200 km/h, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD at 180 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.
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 7.30 seconds. The 1.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ford Mustang Mach-E GT has a clear edge over the Volvo EX40 Twin Motor AWD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
