Three of its motors power the front wheels, with four connected to the rear, providing a stunning 2,300 pounds of downforce.
Almost stopped reading there. Downforce has nothing to do with horsepower or torque. Rather, it is a function of aerodynamics and speed.

Following on the heels of the all-electric Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, Mustang Mach-E 1400 is projecting 1,400 peak horsepower and more than 2,300 lb. of downforce at 160 mph from its seven motors and ultra-high-performance battery
