Ford’s ridiculous 1,400hp electric van just won the Goodwood hillclimb

In what can only be described as a shocking upset, Ford’s outrageous 1,400hp electric van, the Ford F-150 Hybrid Pilot, has taken top honors at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb event. The electric behemoth, driven by Ford’s chief engineer for electric vehicles, electrified the crowd and left the competition in its dust.

The Ford F-150 Hybrid Pilot, affectionately known as the “EV-150,” is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and its pursuit of speed. Powered by four electric motors, producing a combined 1,400 horsepower and 1,400 lb-ft of torque, this behemoth of a van left the competition struggling to keep up.

The electric van tore up the hill, reaching speeds of over 150mph and completing the 1.2-mile course in a blistering 34.5 seconds. The closest competitor, a Lotus Evija, took almost 2 seconds longer to complete the course.

The EV-150’s incredible performance was made possible by its advanced technology, including its advanced battery system, high-performance motors, and aerodynamic design. Ford’s engineers have also implemented advanced battery management systems, allowing the vehicle to produce its massive power output while still maintaining a relatively low center of gravity.

“The Ford F-150 Hybrid Pilot is a testament to the power of innovation and our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Ford’s chief engineer for electric vehicles. “We’re thrilled to have taken top honors at Goodwood and look forward to bringing this technology to the masses in the future.”

The Ford F-150 Hybrid Pilot is not just a one-off concept, but rather a precursor to a production model that will be hitting the streets soon. Ford has announced plans to launch an electric version of the F-150 truck, with the EV-150 serving as the proof of concept.

While some may be skeptical about the practicality of an electric van, the Ford F-150 Hybrid Pilot is a reminder that even the most unlikely vehicles can be transformed with the right technology and a willingness to push boundaries. As the world continues to shift towards electric vehicles, it’s clear that Ford is leading the charge.

For now, the Ford F-150 Hybrid Pilot will remain at the top of the Goodwood hillclimb podium, a symbol of the incredible potential of electric power and the innovation of the American auto giant.
