When a DJ draws inspiration from the sound of an electric sports car

DETROIT: The sound of a Ford Mustang Mach-E, the latest 100% electric version of the legendary sports car, can be heard on the latest track, "New Breed," by American electro composer Matthew Dear.

When designing the car, Ford paid particular attention to developing the car's sound quality, so that it could be perceived both inside and outside while in motion. And the engineers involved in the project turned to science-fiction movies for inspiration

The project to make it into a musical track, initiated by the manufacturer itself, immediately appealed to the Detroit-based DJ: "The idea of remixing the sounds from the Mustang Mach-E was immediately interesting because I've always considered myself to be a ‘sound tinkerer,'" said Dear.

The title "New Breed" is available on all streaming platforms.

The all-electric Mustang Mach-E boasts a power output of up to 248 kW, the equivalent of 332hp. It is available starting at US$43,895 (RM182,000) for first deliveries scheduled for late 2020.
