Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 6.73 s for the 4 Long Range RWD. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E RWD leads by 0.69 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD is doing 129 km/h against 129 km/h for the 4 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Mustang Mach-E RWD crosses the line in 14.39 s versus 14.92 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD finishes in 26.73 s versus 27.23 s, with a 0.50 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Mustang Mach-E RWD and the 4 Long Range RWD are governed to 180 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.01 kg/hp vs 7.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.07 seconds. The 0.69 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Mustang Mach-E RWD wins (6,04 s vs 6,73 s).
Mustang Mach-E RWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
