Ford's 2,200 HP All-Electric Mustang Just Blitzed Past Previous Quarter-Mile Record - Ford Motor (NYSE:F)
Ford says the 2,200-horsepower drag car beat its previous EV mark by 0.75 seconds after simplifying the powertrain to two motors.
- The Ford Racing Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 became the quickest electric car on the planet this weekend, running a 6.87-second quarter mile at 221 mph at the NHRA Wide Nationals in Charlotte.
- Simplifying the architecture to two motors instead of four, the Cobra Jet delivers 2,200 horsepower from custom-built electric motors paired with inverters exceeding 98% efficiency.
- Everything runs on a 900-volt architecture and 32 kWh battery charging in 20 minutes, fitting NHRA's 45-minute turnaround rule; the car also features a pyrotechnic circuit breaker for emergency high-voltage cutoff.
- Each motor pair delivers roughly 1,200 horsepower, while a multi-speed transmission maintains optimal power band throughout the run; Ford credits extensive simulation work for consistent 6.87-second performance.
- While Ford is currently focused on affordable EVs under $40,000, the Cobra Jet's 900-volt architecture and high-efficiency inverters represent technology that could eventually benefit production vehicles.
