Ford EV Racing Car?

Ford Pro has been teasing a product on Twitter for the past week that looks like it could be both electric and fast. The tweets feature years, headlights, and the logo of an upcoming and legendary motorsports event.

Last week, Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley posted a video of a racing helmet with the Goodwood Festival of Speed logo and a mystery lightbar. On Thursday Ford Pro CEO Ted Cannis tweeted another video that starts with the year 1971 and ends with 2022 and the Goodwood logo again.

At this point, Ford has confirmed nothing about the product publicly.

The European Supervan debuted in 1971 and others were introduced in 1984 and 1994. Each of those years is represented in the imagery.

2,000bhp electric Supervan

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...

I just thought back to this thread and it seems to line up with everything. Crazy, I did not see them releasing a super fast van!
