Back in 2020 amid the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ford injected some electric excitement into the drag racing world. Of course, we're talking about the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400: a prototype drag-racing machine with dual motors and prolific power driving the rear wheels. Despite the 1400 moniker, it actually made 1,502 horsepower. And it set an NHRA record for a full-bodied EV drag car, running 8.128 seconds at 171.97 mph.
Now, Ford presents the Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800. This is an upgrade of the original car so sadly, we won't see them competing at the strip. However, we will eventually see Ford attempt to break its own record in the near future. And since we're talking about a Super Cobra Jet that now develops 1,800 horsepower, odds are good that the old record will fall.
