Ford Performance has revealed the 1800-hp Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800, which aims to chase down NHRA world records.That old car holds a class-specific world record in the quarter-mile, recording 8.128 seconds at 171.97 mph.
Ford Performance just revealed the Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800 electric prototype. The Super Cobra Jet 1800 is a revised version offirst draft—the 1400-hp Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype from a few years ago. The only things crazier than the new car's 1800 horsepower are the NHRA world records it's targeting.
The Mustang Cobra Super Jet 1800 aims to beat the 1400's quarter-mile run of 8.128 seconds at 171.97 mph, which was recorded in June 2021. Additionally, the 1800 is going after a new full-bodied, electric-vehicle record for fastest EV from zero to 60 mph and fastest two-wheel-drive EV from zero to 60 mph during an NHRA event later this season.
There's also an entirely redone, lighter-weight battery system designed by Ford Performance and MLe Racecars. Power is sent to an MLe Racecars-revised rear end with improved suspension geometry from PMR and a new set of larger Mickey Thompson drag radials to help launch the car. “Our changes have made significant improvements to the car, including removing hundreds of pounds in weight and increasing horsepower to 1800," said Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports.
