Ford continues to campaign for electromobility and is therefore now also offering its own electric motors individually for the further expansion of the segment. In the first step, the electric motor of the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition is available, in the further course batteries, controllers and inverters will follow.
For Ford, electromobility is no longer just an issue for new cars, but should also play a role in older automobiles, conversions and other modified vehicles with the availability of the first individually available electric motor. According to Ford, the global auto parts aftermarket generates annual sales of 50 billion US dollars, which they now want to share with e-components.
M-9000-MACH-E available individually
The electric motor of the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, which belongs to the so-called Eluminator series, is offered under the part number “M-9000-MACH-E”. the Cost is $ 3,900 before tax for an electric motor that delivers 210 kW (281 hp) and 430 Nm with a weight of 93 kg. The scope of delivery includes fastening elements from the high-voltage motor to the inverter as well as a low-voltage connector and a ventilation system. Inverter, controller and battery are not included. Ford intends to add the latter components to its range over time in order to offer a turnkey solution.

Ford F-100 Eluminator from 1978
Ford has its own engine used at the tuning fair of the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) in a concept vehicle named F-100 Eluminator, which is based on an F-100 pickup truck from 1978 and in which the Mustang’s drive train Mach-E GT Performance Edition was transplanted with an electric motor per axle, which were configured with a total of 480 PS.
As is typical for SEMA, several companies from the custom scene were involved in the implementation. Developed by Ford Performance, the vehicle was built in collaboration with MLe Racecars and sits on a custom chassis from Roadster Shop. Brand X Customs was responsible for the paintwork in “Avalanche Gray” with accents in “Cerakote Copper”. In the interior, the dashboard comes from JJR Fabrication, while the leather upholstery comes from MDM Upholstery. The F-100 Eluminator sits on 19-inch rims from Forgeline with tires in 275 / 45-19 from Michelin.
