    Ford Performance introduces new Cobra Jet drag car with electric power

    This will run some great numbers for sure, but what do you guys think of the powertrain?

    It won’t hurt your ears and doesn’t use a drop of fuel, but it’s projected to crush the quarter-mile in the low-8-second range at more than 170 mph. For the first time ever, Ford Performance introduces a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet factory drag racer with all-electric propulsion.

    The battery-powered Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype is purpose-built and projected to deliver over 1,400 horsepower and over 1,100 ft.-lbs. of instant torque to demonstrate the capabilities of an electric powertrain in one of the most demanding race environments.

    “Ford has always used motorsport to demonstrate innovation,” said Dave Pericak, Global Director, Ford Icons. “Electric powertrains give us a completely new kind of performance and the all-electric Cobra Jet 1400 is one example of pushing new technology to the absolute limit. We’re excited to showcase what’s possible in an exciting year when we also have the all-electric Mustang Mach-E joining the Mustang family.”

    Really cool, I'm 100% in for an electric option in the stang. Not for the environment but having tons of power, not having to stand at the stupid gas pumps ever again, total quiet sleeperness and the cool factor.

    I give ford props for this.

    I would think optimally one pass.
    More passes = more energy = more batteries = more weight.


    Bring spare batteries.

    I think that’s a stupid idea and a sad sign of things to come. Epic fail IMO, but Greta approves.
