Ford has been saying its new is “Mustang-inspired” since last year’s . And with the official name, they really, really went there.

The battery-powered performance crossover will be called the Ford Mustang Mach-E, complete with the pony logo and everything.

I’d make a “horse of a different color” joke here, but that’s too damn obvious and I haven’t had enough coffee yet anyway.

This car represents Ford’s first truly modern attempt at an EV, and an EV crossover. Announced in Detroit last year, it was initally tipped to be called the .

Indeed, plenty of Angry Internet People balked at giving an EV people-mover the same name as a Mustang performance option that spanned decades.

The car will be revealed in full this Sunday at an event in Los Angeles right before that city’s auto show. It will be streamed on , , and China’s Autohome that evening, and afterward you’ll be able to reserve one with a $500 refundable deposit.
