Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 9.44 s for the Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E RWD leads by 3.40 s and sits roughly 29 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD is doing 129 km/h against 111 km/h for the Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50. The gap is 1.88 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 17.08 s. The 2.69 s gap represents roughly 98 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD finishes in 26.73 s versus 32.53 s, with a 5.80 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Mustang Mach-E RWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50 at 140 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 (7.01 kg/hp vs 11.04 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.57 seconds. The 3.40 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 9,44 s).
Mustang Mach-E RWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
