Ford’s partnership with Red Bull includes high-octane shenanigans.
Red Bull is known for its incredible stunts: whether behind the wheel of a car, or on a snowboard or in any other sport, Red Bull is all about doing the extreme. Ford announced its 2026 return to Formula 1, and chose Red Bull as its partner, and that passion for the extreme seems to be part of that partnership, with motorsport stunts going beyond F1 already showing up in spades as a result of Ford and Red Bull joining forces. One of those is a new electric vehicle performance demonstrator, a performance-oriented version of the new all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning, and Ford CEO Jim Farley gave a sneak peek of this incredible new truck with driver Daniel Ricciardo.

Ford fans will notice that the new performance truck is something of an homage to the original Ford F-150 Lightning, as it was originally a performance version of the iconic F-150 truck. While the truck is mostly under a car cover, Jim Farley promises that more details on this already-exciting machine are going to be coming soon. As the countdown begins before Ford and Red Bull make their 2026 F1 debut, more details on this project and more projects are sure to come.
