Ford SuperVan 4.2: How Fast Can A 2000bhp Transit Go? | Stig Laps

[@TopGear]

Can you name a more inappropriately fast vehicle than a 2000bhp Ford Transit?

[@yissibiiyte]

Imagine if they put this drivetrain in a vehicle that's more aerodynamic than a barn

[@ALMX5DP]

I’d think this is quite aerodynamic. What is its drag coefficient?

[@theinsanitypenguin]

​@@ALMX5DPyou can have as low of a drag coefficient as you want, it still has the frontal surface area the size of a tennis court.

[@Rngh00101]

Tbh it looks quite aerodynamic

[@ALMX5DP]

@@theinsanitypenguin maybe though the OP seemed to suggest it was not aerodynamic at all. A very slippery shape, even with a larger frontal area can be better in terms of aerodynamics than something much smaller but much more blunt. I’d think this takes less power to push through the air than a stock Miata even if the latter is 1/4 the frontal area.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@ALMX5DP I'm sure it is relatively aerodynamic by van standards, but it obviously could have been way more aerodynamic if it wasn't van-shaped

[@lloyd9819]

A screen in the cabin that shows the speed via GPS would be a fantastic addition to all times laps.

[@shahyawar3709]

They probably dont know how to do it becasue if they knew and still didnt do it, it would be much worse i am afraid.

[@zapfanzapfan]

I second that.

[@thomaslegoff4069]

RIP tiny bird

[@Tom-rh6ep]

The McMurtry will walk it to the top of the timing sheets, but I'd like to know how a T50.S compares.

[@Smc-gm2nx]

T50 is a manual so hasn't got a chance

[@captainobvious9188]

I'm interested in its times too, even though it's optimized for the experience and the not necessarily the time. I suspect it wont even be in the same ballpark though :-/

[@StephenGibson]

​@@Smc-gm2nxHe said T.50s which is the track only version which isn't a manual.

[@johndelaney5889]

A quick glance at the leader board, I noticed that the legendary, Ultima GTR isn't on their. I know it was an unofficial lap, but come on it's about time the Ultima got a showing on Top Gear, even if it's just the youtube channel.

[@quinness.]

Would love to see how the GTD compares to all the supercars on the list already since it put down the amazing nurburgring time

[@k1ortia]

Sat in this and was next to it taking off at Goodwood, Absolutely mad as a box of frogs....Rapid!!!

[@andrewhorton481]

It sounds like my old RC Tamiya Dirt Devil 🤣

[@oskar6661]

I mean...it is essentially a huge RC car.

[@fabiandifrakhsh6904]

They should call it the Killer Whale.

[@robinwells5343]

That's not a van though... the older versions were. This isn't. The entire back end isn't there to make room for the ridiculous spoiler. More like a slightly taller saloon than a van.

[@ElfSixDave]

My thoughts exactly.

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

It sounds like my washing machine on a drying cycle going round the track.

[@xtremekewii]

I think it sounds more like a jet turbine spooling

[@TheStorkSR]

Always love Ford bringing out the best of their engineering department to turn a brick into a lethal track/hillclimb weapon. Nothing puts a grin on my face faster than yet another absurd Supervan doing absurd things lol.

[@urbanstrencan]

Stig and SUPERVAN are perfect combo ;)

I want to see the Subaru Midnight Project on track! At least it is a real car. 😊

[@Ulrimac3]

2000hp stock ford 🥶💀☠️

[@advangs]

TOP HEAVY? Doubt it. It's electric which means batteries on the floor, it's body is carbon fiber with the back half of it being a shark fin. So not much mass there. It does mean a bit in the corners though.

[@notoriousl.a.d2427]

When is valkriye going to do a lap?

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

McMurtry...McMurder the leader boad, looking forward to that

[@mostneuter]

So they did similar to the Renault Espace F1 but it's an EV... Shame they didn't went the combustion route

[@andrereaves2712]

Props. That looks like he's driving. Go-kart. Little had movement on the wheel. Very stable vehicle

[@LukasDafnäs]

"Van". Even without all that aero, slick tyres and those 4 electric motors it isn't a van. It's just as much of a Van as a Jesko is. The whole Van part is shrunk down like a Ford GT. Of course it's gonna be fast. It's a 2000 hp shell with slicks. Got nice FOS vibes from the sound of it though.

[@removedmotivechannel]

true... the Jesko is road legal and doesnt use slicks., the F1 car was on grooved tires and not full slicks... bring all of the older record cars to the track and give them the newest full slicks and things will change dramatically. tire technology made huge jumps in the last years and those other records are old. and the Supervan is a multi million dollar one of one race car that was build for only one purpose without any restrictions. other then F1 cars or GT3 cars or street cars which indeed have restrictions, the Supervan was build without any rules. and try that record run again on the Nordschleife... a longer track will quickly change things there. the time is really good but not as special as they try to make it look

[@leroybutcher]

BANGING TUNE! YIP WONG SO SICK

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

STARD 👌🔥💯

[@darzon31]

It's crazy looking at the speed on the dash, hitting 250 km/h before the first turn 😳

[@M3M3M32]

Im not gonna lie, im envious of the Stig. He clearly has the best job in the world.

[@MinhtuanDinh-k2z]

they shouldve recorded it and given a commentary like the old top gear. ykno, like, "AND ACROSS THE LINE!!!" type shit.

@@MinhtuanDinh-k2z don’t think it hits the same as the mighty boys commentary !

The award may as well go to the McMurtry right now because it will decimate EVERY car that’s been on the TG track.

[@johndelaney5889]

Plumbers and electricians up and down the country will be having wet dreams over this van

[@stephen-boddy]

You need to tell the editor to ease up on the Peruvian marching powder! Cutting every other second, chopping directional changes. Seems like half the video was shot by someone who's practicing tracking shots for the first time, and the other half was shot on an non-gimballed hand-held for that "edgy" look. You could use this as a form of torture by forcing someone endure watching it a few times on repeat.

[@Rowdyruffboy]

Very cool, but the guy driving the stock Transit wearing a white button up next to me on the road this morning is still faster.

[@peterbennpan7288]

I think James May would think otherwise regarding its aerodynamics! 😮😅

[@LukeHolman-k3k]

Vans smart mind you I appreciate it one hell of a machine.

[@eman7892]

Like the body design.. make a more "soccer mom" friendly one and i bet it sells..

[@sporeGAnerd]

They need to bring back the old camera angles and aspect ratios but with the resolution of the new cameras

[@kentbeitel9966]

Can’t wait to see the 911k 👌🔥

After this supervan, Stig has to do a lap in the Iron Knight, the2400hp Volvo truck! 🤩

[@jamessellards7157]

Wow I love this channel!!!!!!!!!!😅

[@zapfanzapfan]

That should have the color scheme of a TARDIS because that thing teleports you... 🙂

[@thomaspynchon2871]

The first two were vaguely interesting, they were at least based on a real van. That, however, isn't anything approaching a van.

Incredible machine, is the people ready to let go of gas cars is the question?

[@oskar6661]

Nope. And they shouldn't. This, like most EV's, is a gimmicky show-piece. This vehicle is utterly useless in every other aspect of..being a vehicle. This is part of the "you should buy an EV" propaganda wave you've been seeing all over the internet.

they should build a series of less powerful vans with seats in them to carry 3 passengers around a track. imagine getting hurled around the ring in a 1000hp van.

Can we guess the Stig in this video? I'm new here, do they change now? If so, There's one legend who ripped like this, Ken Block. May he rest in peace 🙏🏼 But there's a certain Vaughn Gittin Jr. Style to this rippin.

[@HaydenMowbray-nz6ny]

It’s not a van. Should be some minimum cargo load test. Cool though.

[@SkylarFTG]

I don't think they should be allowed to call this a van as it doesn't have any space in the back...or really a back at all

[@WarDog1567]

But can I put my tools and immigrants in the back?

[@Michael_Michaels]

What's the range of that thing? 5 minutes at full power?

[@oskar6661]

I'd imagine it gets enough for the average decent hill climb, maybe a lap of the Nurburgring, but little more.
