Ford has revealed its latest in a line of bonkers Transits - an electric van that packs almost 2,000bhp.

It is called the Supervan and is the fourth iteration of Ford putting a massive powertrain into a commercial vehicle, having unveiled the first in 1971 by putting a GT40 V8 engine in a Mk1 Transit.

Ford quotes a maximum power output of 1,973bhp from the zero-emission, quad-motor powertrain, put into a souped-up e-Transit Custom.

It means Ford's Supervan can accelerate from a standstill to 62mph quicker than a £2.5million Bugatti Chiron.

I didn't even know they had this in the works! This is pretty interesting. I am not really a fan of vans but they really did make it powerful and a bit more modern. It is less of a mum's car and more of a utility/sport van which I can appreciate. What do you think of it?

62mph quicker than a £2.5million Bugatti Chiron

Holy cow! That is so impressive! And it is a VAN! I am actually blown away by this. I wonder what inspired them to make such a vehicle. I can't say I like the look of it. To me, it looks rather tacky/silly but that is some impressive speed.

It looks like a regular car to me, rather than a van, but its acceleration capabilities are stunning. Are these actually for sale, or is it just a stunt/demo car?
