Ford's Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 Smashes EV Quarter-Mile Record at 6.87s
Ford Racing's Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 set a new EV quarter-mile world record by running 6.87 seconds at 221 mph at an NHRA event in Charlotte. The 2,200‑hp electric drag car uses a two‑motor/inverter setup on a 900‑volt system with a 32 kWh battery, and can charge in about 20 minutes. It features a driver’s clutch for instant power delivery, a multi‑speed transmission to stay in its power band, weight‑distribution tuning, and safety measures like a pyrotechnic circuit breaker, marking a significant leap in electric drag racing.
