Ford has unveiled the all-electric Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 dragster with 2,200 hp. The new model is a development of previous versions: the 2021 Cobra Jet 1400 and the 2023 Cobra Jet 1800. The first set an NHRA record, covering the quarter mile in 8.128 seconds at a speed of 276.76 km/h.
The new version has received even more power, although the technical details have not yet been disclosed. Its public debut will take place at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, where the car is expected to demonstrate the capabilities of electric propulsion.
Electric dragsters have already proven highly effective thanks to instant torque. Nevertheless, interest in such projects is declining amid the mass spread of electric vehicles.
Earlier, Ford also presented other experimental EVs, including the SuperVan 4.2 and a high-performance version of the Mustang Mach-E. The company confirms that its strategy remains unchanged: it will continue to produce internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid models, and electric vehicles, adjusting the balance depending on market demand.
