  • Ford reveals first details of the all-electric Mustang Cobra [VIDEO]

    2020 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400For the first time ever Ford introduces a drag race vehicle with a full-electric drivetrain system. It is named Mustang Cobra and is capable to crush the quarter-mile in the low 8-second range at more than 170mph (307km/h).

    This battery-powered Mustang delivers a total of 1,400hp and 1,100lb-ft of torque. The vehicle follows the debut of the first all-electric Mustang – the Mach-E SUV and represents another opportunity to advance the Mustang heritage and performance while, at the same tie, incorporates some of the most advanced technology coming to Ford’s future engines. New Mustang Cobra also honors the original Cobra Jet that first dominated drag strips in the late 60s and is still an influential vehicle after these many decades.

    Ford Performance continues the tests of the all-electric Cobra and diligently prepares for the world debut later this year. As it seems, the team also prepares some drag racing events where fans, enthusiasts, media and competitors alike will get to have a closer look at the car, as well as see exactly what it is capable of right on the spot.

  • Ford Performance reveals limited run of new Mustang machines

    2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Ford Performance reveals details about one of the fastest drag vehicles that the brand has ever produced – a menacing Mustang that is capable of covering quarter of a mile in mere mid-eight-second range. This Mustang Cobra Jet is also a limited-edition vehicle that honors the 50th anniversary of the original drab beast, revealed in 1968.

    Making its debut this weekend at the 2018 Woodward Dream Cruise, the Cobra Jet would try to become the most powerful and quickest Mustang Cobra Jet ever created – and we tend to believe such words. After all, stock rates are pretty impressive – the vehicle can reach 150mph incredibly fast and at the same time the eight-second quarter mile run is pretty menacing achievement.

    In terms of drivetrain system, the vehicle is geared with an exclusive 5.2-liter engine that appears to be a revised version of Ford’s popular and successful 5.0-liter V8 that is strengthened and enhanced with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. The power is distributed to the wheels through a 9-inch solid rear axle, two-way coil-over stocks with adjustable ride height and low-drag disc brake system from Strange Engineering. There’s also an exclusive four-link rear suspension with antiroll and panhard bars. Neat!

    Furthermore, there are additional factory-provided racing performance upgrades such as NHRA-certified safety roll cage, FIA-certified seats and anniversary-badged racing wheels. Available in Race Red and Oxford White, the vehicle also features neat 50th Anniversary graphics and badging. And if you are interested in buying one, you’d better hurry up – the production is limited to 68 vehicles! Enjoy!

  • 2013 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet

    Since 1968 Ford’s Cobra Jet Mustang has achieved to make a legacy of power, performance and triumph. In 2008 this legacy was made anew with the limited run of the 40th Anniversary Cobra Jet Mustang (of course it quickly sold out). Consequently the models of 2010 and 2012 are as popular as the previous ones, and moreover they are a proof for the continues Evolution of Ford Racing’s Turnkey Race Car Program

    On Friday Dec. 2, Ford Racing unveiled their 2013 Cobra Jet Mustang at the Performance Racing Industry show in Orlando, Fla. The 2013 Cobra Jet went through three year period of testing, racing and customer feedback in order to continue the legacy. It was designed for NHRA Stock and Super Stock competition. And we must say that the model is better than ever and features the latest drag racing technology for greater acceleration and consistency.

    To be more precise the 2013 Cobra Jet offers two 5.0-liter Ti-VCT engine options. Therefore every individual taste will be met. Namely, clients have the opportunity to choose a naturally aspirated engine with Cobra Jet induction system, CNC ported heads, high-lift cams and low-drag accessory drive, or a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharged version with CNC port-matched manifold and heads, and a proprietary 10-rib supercharger drive system for high-rpm use without belt slip.

    Furthermore, there has been made improvements in the chassis of the 2013 Cobra Jet. What I mean are the modifications in the lightweight body, which give better weight distribution. On the other hand the electric power steering provides better drivability without parasitic horsepower loss. Additionally a new roll cage design has been optimized for safety and chassis rigidity. Not forgetting the brake pedal – its ratio has been revised as well in order to have more modulation and stopping power. The rear suspension geometry delivers faster and more consistent 60-foot times.

    And if you wonder about the numbers of the price, the 2013 Cobra Jet is at best value, with an approximate MSRP of $86,000 (for the naturally aspirated engine option) and $93,000 (for the supercharged engine)

    As usual, the 2013 Cobra Jet Mustang will be made by the United Auto Workers at the AutoAlliance International plant in Flat Rock, Mich. Production of Cobra Jets will commence in June 2012, with delivery in the middle of the summer of 2012. The components of the vehicle will be available through Ford Performance Parts. This of course will allow racers to upgrade their Mustangs to Cobra Jet specifications.

    Unfortunately 2013 Cobra Jet production is limited to only 50 units.
