The Ford Transit track version not only broke Ford’s own note, but became faster than many supercars, including the latest Corvette ZR1X.
Ford set a new note on the Nurburgring Highway, and did not make it behind the wheel of a supercar, but a specially prepared electric version of Ford Transit called Supervan 4.2. According to Motor1, there was a professional racer Romain Dumas, who defeated the circle for 6 minutes 48 seconds – four seconds faster than the Mustang GTD supercar, the final Ford record holder.
The van has become faster than the latest Corvette ZR1X, the current Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ cult. Prior to the result of the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, which was a world record holder in the past, and now in third place, only half a second is not enough.

The idea of a similar arrival appeared in the company after the release of Top Gear in 2005, where Sabina Schmits tried to show what was transit capable. “Since then, for many of us, the dream will bring transit to the Nurgburgring limit. And so we finally have the right car, the right pilot and perfect condition,” said Michael Norton, Ford program manager for car demonstrations.
Ford first introduced Supervan 4.2 more than a year ago as an intense transit version. The displayed version has three electric motors with a total capacity of 1428 hp. And was able to build a speed of 240 km/h, but the current version used had four electric motor with a total capacity of nearly 2000 hp. and advanced aerodynamics.
The company also announced that this is not the last note they plan to set in nurging.
Earlier it was reported that Mercedes-AMG, whose Supercar One is currently holding a record of the world in Nurgurging, introduced a 1360-horsepower electric concept.
