THE JEEP WRANGLER 4XE PLUG-IN HYBRID IS A STEALTH OFF-ROADER
The Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 pranced down the strip at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis throughout the U.S. Nationals this past weekend with its front wheels in the air to demonstrate the capacity of electrical drive.
The run did give Ford battery-powered bragging rights over Chevy, whose 700 hp eCOPO Camaro clocked a quarter-mile of 9.837 seconds at 134.07 mph in 2015.
Tasca had a slower response time and pulled a long and high wheel stand at the green light, which let Pedregon take an early lead that he didnt quit. The gas-powered Mustang beat its electric equivalent 8.797 seconds at 158.26 miles per hour to 8.826 seconds at 156.81 miles per hour.
Speak about a show pony.
Ford says it has actually covered a quarter-mile in 8.27 seconds at a trap speed 168 miles per hour in personal testing, and it put NHRA Funny Car driver Bob Tasca III behind the wheel at Indianapolis to handle a sportsman class supercharged V8-powered 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet driven by Tony Pedregon. Ford has never ever revealed a main power output for the V8 Cobra Jet, however it has actually been estimated to be in the 1,000 hp range.
