More Ford fans will have the opportunity to see the insane SuperVan 4.2 over the coming six weeks as it continues its tour Down Under, taking to some of the nation’s most famous racetracks and exciting enthusiasts. The all-electric van arrived in Australia late last week and was quickly put to the test at Sydney Motorsport Park. It will make its debut at this weekend’s Repco Bathurst 12 Hour before completing demonstration runs at the Thrifty Bathurst 500 Supercars season opener the following weekend. Piloting the car across both of these weekends will be acclaimed racing driver Romain Dumas.
Next month, Ford will take the SuperVan
4.2 to the Adelaide Motorsport Festival running from March 15-17 and be driven
by a handful of special guests. It will then continue its high-powered journey
across the country and hit the Albert Park circuit on the Thursday before the
Australian Grand Prix. Race fans will be able to view it as part of the Ford
Performance Experience display throughout the weekend. It will be displayed
alongside the new Mustang Dark Horse and a Mustang Mach-E GT.
Ford unveiled the new-and-improved
SuperVan 4.2 at last year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It features a
trio of electric motors that combine to produce 1,400 hp and thanks to the
insane bodywork, produces an impressive 1,995 kg of downforce at 242 km/h.
