DEARBORN, Mich., - The all-electric Mustang Mach-E isn't a Mustang in name only - and we'll let the horses do the talking.

Order banks are now open in the U.S., and reservation holders are now being invited to convert their reservations to official orders for the latest addition to the Mustang stable.

Ford also is confirming updated performance specs following recent charging and driver-assist technology news - adding up to a convenient, stress-free Mach-E ownership experience with the exhilaration expected of Mustang. Specifically:

'We remain dedicated to delivering on the promise of the Mustang name,' said Ron Heiser, Mustang Mach-E chief program engineer. 'These better-than-estimated performance figures show that our team is squeezing every last bit of performance out of this vehicle so that it not only delivers Mustang style but Mustang soul as well.'

Mustang style and performance is what lured Detroit businessman Keith Simmons to pre-order an all-new Mach-E. With two Porsches in his garage, Simmons likes sleek, upscale styling - with a healthy punch of power. There was something about an all-electric Mustang Mach-E GT in Shadow Black that called to him.

'I've been thinking about going electric for a while,' said Simmons. 'I like being first on the block to get something new. Mach-E has convinced me to make the jump to all-electric; I saw an announcement that it was coming out and particularly liked the styling, so I made a deposit to purchase one and can't wait to get my hands on it.'

Ford engineers have used 3D simulations - the same tool Ford Performance uses to develop race cars - to ensure Mach-E has the ride quality and driving dynamics expected of a Mustang. On top of virtual hot laps, engineers put Mustang Mach-E's all-wheel-drive system to the test in extremely cold and hazardous conditions at Smithers Winter Test Center in northern Michigan.
