Overview
- The California Special is based on the Mach‑E GT and carries EPA estimates of 280 miles of range, 480 horsepower, and up to 700 lb‑ft of torque.
- Ford prices the package at $55,890, a $2,495 premium over the GT’s $53,395 base price.
- Order books open October 22, with first dealer arrivals expected in early 2026.
- Design updates include a Rave Blue color, 20‑inch carbonized gray wheels with GT/CS logo, an illuminated Rave Blue pony emblem, a coastline‑inspired hood graphic, and a blue‑accented interior with performance seats.
- Context for buyers: the Mach‑E remains ineligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit due to Mexico production, even as recent sales have been relatively strong.
