Remember the bonkers Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 prototype that was developed in tens of hours of collaborative work between RTR and Ford Performance to be tested by the one and only Vaughn Gittin Jr.? Well, scratch that off your EV wish list because the Blue Oval has topped that with something even cooler!
Everyone, from the hardworking commercial vehicle user to the most remote van lifer will need to sit down and keep their cool because there is a big chance to drop jaws at the sight of the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan. Now, as we try to regain composure past the 2,000-ps (1,973 hp) headline, let us remember that this is neither the future of the company’s new E-Transit Custom nor the way anyone can experience “Ford Pro digital and EV capability.”
Instead, just like the Mach-E 1400, we are only dealing with a bonkers demonstrator that mixes an all-electric drivetrain with motorsport-specification suspension and brakes plus Ford SYNC connectivity, as well as a sleek minivan-style body! If it sounds crazy, it most definitely is. But wait, there is more.
This is neither the CGI vision of some automotive virtual artist nor the botched attempt of a little aftermarket outlet to stand out in a crowd. This is a working, tire-shredding, ultra-high-performance prototype that will make its global debut at the ongoing Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK (June 23-26), and it will be driven by “Le Mans racer and electric record-setter Romain Dumas.”
Now, let us talk a little bit about the specifications. So, the wild-styled commercial van has four electric motors, a 50-kWh liquid-cooled battery, unique drive modes, regenerative braking, a track-ready chassis, and secret skunk work done by Ford Performance as well as “electrified rally and racing specialists STARD in Austria.” Best of all, we also have a proposed acceleration figure to “relate” to. That would be an under two-second zero to 62 mph / 100 kph sprint time!
