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

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

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.

[@Steefanari]

There is. Look at the lower number on the right side of his dash. It's in km/h and granted it would be nice to have it bigger but it's there.

[@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

[@malcolmjcullen]

I don't understand why you haven't kept the old camera positions and editing cues from the original series. The fact they were all consistently the same for each car made it easier to compare them.

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.

For the older Top Gear viewers. This van has the power of around 300 G-Wiz vehicles (at around their normal power output, as the power on them does vary depending on battery level, which is hilarious.) Although no, you cannot tape 300 G-Wiz vehicles together to be this fast.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@NBSV1]

I think they lost sight of what made the super vans cool and started thinking it being faster would be cooler. Now it’s just a lightly van shaped race car which just ends up being a crappy race car. Would be way more interesting if it was actually a van with a few race car parts like the old ones were.

[@jamm8284]

It almost looks like a rounded off cybertruck with a wing and if it can't fit an 8x4 in the back it isn't a transit 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

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.
