Way again in April of 2020, once we had been all huddling down in our unhappy little survival hovels (learn: residences) attempting to keep away from catching Captain Trips, Ford was out setting badass electrical drag-racing data with its Mustang Cobra Jet 1400. That final half meant it had 1,400 hp on faucet to ship a mad-decent 8.128-second ET at 171.97 mph, making it the quickest full-bodied EV to do the standing quarter-mile. Well, in line with an announcement made on Thursday, Ford is again at it with the Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800, which, as you’ve little doubt guessed, has 1,800 hp and is out to kick sand in its older sibling’s face and steal its romantic accomplice. It’s a really aggressive automobile.
In case you missed it:
The automobile has been tweaked with a brand new lighter battery pack developed by MLe and Ford Performance, in addition to a model new Liberty transmission and an MLe-tweaked rear-end coupled with even larger Mickey Thompson drag slicks. It’s rad. The inverters and motors are the identical as earlier than.
Ford claims the automobile is “hundreds of pounds lighter” than earlier than, in order that, coupled with the facility bump, would lead us to imagine that this technological terror will find yourself someplace deep into the low 7-second vary, possibly even faster.
MLe Racecars’ drag racing particular person, Pat McCue, can be within the driver’s seat later this 12 months at an as-yet-unspecified National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) occasion to aim this automotive feat of energy.
