Summary

  • Five SUVs were identified as quicker than the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, which reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and runs the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds.
  • Tesla’s Model X Plaid leads the group at 2.5 seconds to 60 mph—2.3 in independent testing—with a 9.9-second quarter mile, far ahead of the Mach-E GT.
  • Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo GT, Aston Martin’s DBX707, Lotus’s Eletre R and Ferrari’s Purosangue also beat the Ford, posting 0-60 times from 2.9 to 3.2 seconds.
  • The comparison spans EVs and combustion models, with outputs ranging from the Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 to the Tesla’s 1,020-hp tri-motor setup.
  • The list underscores how crowded the 2026 performance-SUV field has become, leaving Ford’s 480-hp Mach-E GT quick by muscle-car standards but no longer near the segment’s acceleration peak.
