With instant torque and enormous performance in a discipline that requires covering very little distance, EVs are perfectly suited to drag racing. So it should be no surprise to learn that Ford’s mightiest Mustang,, is back with even more quarter-mile melting performance. That being the car that set a 1,320-feet record for EVs, clocking an 8.128-second run at 171.97mph.
What was a 1,400hp Mustang is now and 1,800hp one , thanks to work by Ford Performance’s project partners Watson Engineering, Cascadia Motion, AEM-EV and MLe Racecars.
The previous MHRA record was set in June 2021, driven by Bob Tasca III in Norwalk, Ohio. This time around, the Mustang will be driven by MLe Racecars’ co-founder and test driver for the program Pat McCue. An exact date hasn’t yet been confirmed, but the run will be at an NHRA event to ensure that whatever time laid down by the Super Cobra Jet is legit.
As well as the overall quarter mile EV record, Ford is also targeting the fastest electric vehicle 0-60mph, as well as the fastest two-wheel drive electric vehicle 0-60. In for a penny, in for a pound, eh? It’d certainly be a brave person to bet against the Super Cobra Jet - expect a confirmation of exactly when it’ll run very soon.
