Ford Pro Electric SuperVan debuts – 1972bhp van to complete Goodwood hillclimb | Evo

is bringing its iconic SuperVan back to life in the form of this: the Pro Electric SuperVan. Designed to drum up interest in the new Pro Electric range of Transit vans as well as reaffirm Ford Performance’s focus on electrification, the 1972bhp monster has been revealed at this weekend’s. It’ll run up the hill over the weekend alongside the world’s most iconic road and race cars.

Designed and built in collaboration between Ford Performance and Austrian EV competition car specialists STARD, the Pro Electric SuperVan has been built by marrying a standard Pro Electric Transit’s floorplan to a bespoke tubular steel structure. The motorsport-inspired skin of the van was designed by Ford’s European design studio in Cologne with links, albeit tenuous ones, to the road-going version.

Of course, the notion of the Ford SuperVan is nothing new, these high performance one-off Transits having been constructed for promotional purposes from as far back as 1971. The original famously paired the chassis and V8 engine from the Le Mans-winning GT40 with a Mk1 Transit shell, and over the years subsequent SuperVans transformed into bespoke constructions fitted with Ford’s Cosworth-built Formula 1 engines.

As was the case back then, the new Ford Pro Electric SuperVan doesn’t have much to do with the commercial vehicle that’s about to go on sale, but as a bit of fun from Ford’s marketing department it proves that the Ford Performance brand isn’t going anywhere as we move towards total electrification.

Impressive, but still not as fast as a battered Ford Transit on the local ring road on a Wednesday afternoon.
