Ford Racing has once again redefined electric performance with the introduction of the Mustang Cobra Jet 2200, a drag racing beast that combines blistering speed with cutting-edge technology.
The Cobra Jet 2200 is powered by a pair of electric motors, collectively generating an astounding 2,200 horsepower. This figure surpasses even the Rimac Nevera and Pininfarina Battista hypercars, cementing its status as one of the most powerful electric vehicles ever built.
Evolution of the Cobra Jet Lineup
The Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 is the third all-electric iteration in Ford’s Cobra Jet series, following the Cobra Jet 1400 in 2021 and the Cobra Jet 1800 in 2023. As its name suggests, the new model delivers a significant power upgrade while maintaining a focus on lightweight construction.
Lightweight Design and Advanced Components
Ford Racing has trimmed 1,100 lbs (499 kg) from the Cobra Jet 1800, reducing the total weight of the Cobra Jet 2200 to approximately 3,325 lbs (1,500 kg). This weight reduction, combined with its electric powertrain, enables the dragster to achieve remarkable acceleration.
The Cobra Jet 2200 features a centrifugal clutch for controlled torque delivery at launch, a two-speed transmission, and a strategically placed battery system. The setup includes a battery on the undertray, two additional battery packs at the rear, and a front battery that can be repositioned to optimize weight distribution based on track conditions.
Record-Breaking Performance
During its debut at the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, the Cobra Jet 2200 delivered sub-7-second quarter-mile runs. It set a new world record for an electric vehicle with a time of 6.87 seconds at 221 mph, later improving to an even faster 6.81 seconds in a subsequent run.
Ford’s relentless pursuit of electric performance continues with the Cobra Jet 2200, following in the footsteps of other groundbreaking models like the SuperVan 4.2, the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, and the Super Mustang Mach-E.
