In 2020, Ford unveiled the Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1400 electric drag racer with 1,400 horsepower that enabled it to do the quarter mile in 8.128 seconds at 171.97 miles per hour. Now Ford is ready to build on that success with the debut of the Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800.

“We’re always looking to push ourselves in every corner of the motorsport world,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports. “Drag racing remains a key proving ground for our products and technology, and we’re excited to not only try to best our own record in the quarter-mile, but to further showcase ongoing development we continue to make across the entire electric vehicle landscape.”

The Super Cobra Jet 1800 has the same four electric motors at the rear each with its own PN-250-DZR inverter as before. There’s now a new transmission from Liberty and a lighter weight battery system designed by Ford Performance and MLe Racecars. Ford has not announced how much extra power the Super Cobra Jet 1800 has on tap, but it likely has at least 1,800 horsepower.

Ford says that the Super Cobra Jet 1800 will attempt to claim records for fastest electric vehicle 0-60 mph and fastest two-wheel drive electric vehicle 0-60 during an NHRA event later this season.
