The All Electric American Drag Car
This is one of the fastest drag cars today that is available to the public to purchase. It has 1400 horsepower from an electric motor. This is the 2020 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet.
This new Mustang Cobra Jet looks exactly like the old one (but with a different paint job). Some of the notable features on the outside are the wheelie bar because it has so much power that it could easily flip over and the bar stops this from happening, and the big slick tires that give it traction on the drag strip.
The best part about this Mustang is how it gets its power. It just has one enormous electric motor in the front of the car where the engine would be. But the most insane part is it makes 1400 horsepower. Lets just say the average family car has 200 horsepower, the Cobra Jet has seven times more horsepower.
The Mustang Cobra Jet has an electric motor which gives it instant torque, and when you combine that with the fact that it has 1100 feet of it, the car launches really hard. A if you want to do good at the drag strip then the launch is the most important thing.
The main reason that this new Cobra Jet is electric is to compete with the Chevy Camaro eCOPO, a 700 horsepower electric drag car. But the Mustang beats the Camaro in every way. For example, it has double the horsepower, bigger rear tires, and it’s lighter.
I honestly think that Ford has made one insane drag car and the best part is you can buy one yourself you just need a drag racing licence and quite a bit of money! Then you can go to the drag strip each weekend and beat every single Camaro you want.
