Simply a few days ago we saw Lucid Motors put its EV on the drag strip, and now Ford has actually launched video of its purpose-built electrical Mustang. It declares that the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype raced down the quarter-mile in just 8.27 seconds at 168 miles per hour. The company plans to run the automobile in public this weekend at the U.S. Nationals, going head to head in a demonstration against a gas-powered Mustang Cobra Jet.
According to Ford Performance Motorsports global director Mark Rushbrook, “Since exposing the automobile, weve continued to fine-tune it and now understand were just scratching the surface of what we might have the ability to accomplish with this much electric horse power in a drag racing setting.” In a declaration, the group declared this Mustang hit a peak 1,502 HP at the wheels throughout private testing.
