Ford’s 1,400-hp electric SuperVan 4.2 will basically fly up Pikes Peak
About a year ago, Ford revived the Supervan for the electric era with an absolutely audacious 2,000-hp quad-motor bullet van built to deliver all world records, no packages. It described the vaguely E-Transit Custom-related Supervan 4 as a rolling laboratory, and its mad scientists have been hard at work doing some tinkering. They’ve actually scaled output back to a “modest” 1,400 hp but have also broadened out the rear spoiler to near aircraft levels of span, lightened the entire vehicle and splashed it with the new livery it will wear when tackling the great Pikes Peak.
Koenigsegg Regera grabs the 0-400-0 record back from Rimac
Getting from 0 to 400 km/h (249 mph) and back to a standstill as quickly as possible has become a hotly contested acceleration and braking benchmark for the world’s fastest hypercars. It’s not just a test of engine power and braking grip, it’s also an extreme test of traction control, ABS, active aerodynamics and suspension systems.
McMurtry’s “extreme, no rules” hypercar sucks its way to market
Designed more to ignore the entire concept of rules than to merely break them, the McMurtry Spéirling is nearing production, a year on since it raised the bar at the Goodwood Hillclimb and a half-year since it absolutely torched world acceleration records with a 1.4-second 0-60-mph and sub-8 quarter-mile. Now the savage 1,000-hp single-seater is bringing its powerful downforce-amping fan system, all-electric RWD and sub-1,000-kg (2,200-lb) curb weight to market. The Spéirling Pure is about to melt faces and assault eardrums.
