Ford’s SuperTruck and SuperVan Log Sub‑7 Nürburgring Laps in Prototype EV Blitz

The non‑road‑legal EVs ran on slicks as development testbeds for technology Ford says will inform future models.

Overview

  • PistonHeads reports the F‑150‑shaped SuperTruck at 6:43.482 during the same sessions on the Nordschleife.
  • Ford confirms the SuperVan 4.2 recorded a 6:48.393 lap, showcasing an EV demonstrator with nearly 2,000 horsepower.
  • Both vehicles are bespoke prototypes on slick tires, so their laps are not directly comparable with road‑legal production‑car records.
  • Romain Dumas drove both runs, with times that eclipse recent Corvette ZR1X (6:49.275) and Mustang GTD (6:52.072) laps.
  • Ford positions the effort as EV R&D, citing battery, motor and aero learnings for future Transits and F‑150 Lightnings, and it has not announced further attempts.
