Ford took the covers off its next all-electric offering last Friday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed: the Mustang Mach-E Rally. The vehicle will launch this fall and be initially offered in Europe as well as North America.

Surprisingly - to me at least - the Mustang Mach-E Rally will represent the first time ever that the Mustang nameplate will have a dedicated off-road rally car.

Ford hasn't provided many details yet, but from the pictures, we can see the rally-style large rear spoiler with a Mustang pony logo on each side, a custom faux grille integrating two additional round lights, white rally-style wheels wearing BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A tires, and large integrated mud flaps.

"We've been experimenting in all forms of off-road for electric now and we're finding it wasn't quite as we modeled it" - Darren Palmer, VP of Electric Vehicle Programs, Ford Model e

The vehicle is wrapped in black and white designs, similar to what pre-production vehicles wear for camouflage, with large "Mach-E Rally" decals on the sides.

We had the opportunity to interview Ford Model e's VP of Electric Vehicle Programs, Darren Palmer about the Mustang Mach-E Rally, and ask him a variety of questions about the vehicle, including what was Ford's reason for producing a Mach-E Rally car and if he thought spectators would be as interested in electric motorsports as they are with combustion-powered race cars.

We'll be keeping a close eye out for technical details, pricing and availability of the Mach-E Rally and will update the article once we get more information. For now, check out our interview with Palmer and leave your thoughts, comments, and questions below.
