Riding in the Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 EV drift car + tech tour with Vaughn Gittin Jr

Ford's Mustang Mach E electric goes on sale in 2021, but Jonny rides in the Mach-E 1400 EV drift car and gets a tech tour with pro drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr, who also helped build the Mach-E 1400 at his RTR workshop (along with Ford Performance). Built for circuit race, gymkhana and more mainstream electric appreciation for car enthusiasts.

7 motors, 800 volts, 56kWh and diffs built to cope with torque numbers never seen by any supercar.
