Ford Performance has released a one-off battery-powered Mustang Cobra Jet drag car. However sacrilegious some may think this is the numbers are nothing to scoff at.\u00a0 The battery-powered Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype was built to deliver, you guessed it, over 1,400 horsepower and over 1,100 ft.-lbs.<\/p>\n
With those numbers, its no wonder, the electric Cobra Jet puts down an impressive low 8-second quarter-mile. Being battery-powered has its advantages, one of the things you can’t ignore is the unreal low-end torque that is possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cFord has always used motorsport to demonstrate innovation,\u201d said Dave Pericak, Global Director, Ford Icons. \u201cElectric 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\u2019re excited to showcase what\u2019s possible in an exciting year when we also have the all-electric Mustang Mach-E joining the Mustang family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the debut of the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV \u2013 the first-ever, all-electric Mustang, the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype represents another opportunity to expand on the Mustang heritage and performance while simultaneously incorporating some of the most advanced technology coming to Ford\u2019s future powertrains.<\/p>\n
Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 also honors the original Cobra Jet that first dominated drag strips in the late 1960s and still is a major force in sportsman drag racing today.<\/p>\n
“This project was a challenge for all of us at Ford Performance, but a challenge we loved jumping into,\u201d said Mark Rushbrook, Global Director, Ford Performance Motorsports. \u201cWe saw the Cobra Jet 1400 project as an opportunity to start developing electric powertrains in a race car package that we already had a lot of experience with, so we had performance benchmarks we wanted to match and beat right now. This has been a fantastic project to work on, and we hope the first of many coming from our team at Ford Performance Motorsports.”<\/p>\n
To maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the project, Ford Performance has teamed up with several capable and specialized suppliers:<\/p>\n
MLe Racecars \u2013 Vehicle builder, designer, integrator and tuner
\nWatson Engineering \u2013 Chassis support and development, roll cage builder
