Honoring its roots to classic American muscle and the world of quarter-mile drag racing, Ford Performance first debuted its Cobra Jet series as a way for customers to experience the ultimate turnkey drag racing vehicle. Today, the team at Ford Performance is continuing to push the boundaries of speed by breaking numerous World Records behind the wheel of its Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800.
Ford’s electric Mustang Cobra Jet EV just rocketed into the history books again by smashing the world record for the fastest quarter-mile by a full-bodied drag car. Clocking a blistering 7.759-second pass at 180.14 mph during the NHRA Winter Nationals, the race car proved that electric vehicles are not playing around.
After setting a previous record in 2021, the Cobra Jet EV has outdone itself through further upgrades and innovation, including cutting the battery system’s weight by over 40% and tweaking the suspension just right. Ford’s push with the Super Cobra Jet 1800, from a 1400-horsepower setup to this record-smasher, involved a unique control strategy and a super-light battery system. As we cheer for this record-breaking run, it’s clear Ford is steering the electric revolution with style. View all Ford Mustangs for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
