- This utterly mad contraption is the new Supervan. The fourth time in the last 50 years that Ford has gone a bit giddy and decided to fit a Transit with a comically potent powertrain. It produces approximately 2,000bhp and 1,328lb ft of torque and, you guessed it, it’s fully electric. Official name: Ford Pro Electric Supervan… we’ll stick with Supervan 4. Let Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix be your guide.

It would’ve been amazing to see Sabine drive THIS van around the Nurburgring!
About that...
Yeah..
@@rroy9985 that’s why they said “would’ve”, you donut.
Bit late for that mate, maybe someone like Misha from Apex, Rj in Oz
Soooo. That's not gonna be happening any time soon 😬
"As soon as you touch the throttle, you will be shocked."
Not selling the Ford build quality there ⚡
LOL
Ha ha!
Haha, great one
Ah.... Oof, you right. Bad phase on that on.
So true:)
Ford: change the engine on the Supervan Mk3 to reduce horsepower and increase driveability
Also Ford: made a 2000hp van
Times have changed XD Now we got vans smocking multi million dollar cars.
@@raionshishi8290 Ford Transit Supervan has 0 to 60 time of only 2.43 seconds.
@@raionshishi8290
Smoking.
It is funny but tires are way way better now
Very ugly one , this is fiat multipla level
Another Car for the Forza Franchise! Can’t wait to see it 🔥👀
If this joins horizon 5 it will be my favourite electric car by far.
Beat me to it😂
Or GT7
exactly
@@07acanoia doubtful gt7, forza almost always gets there hands on things first, sucks i don’t think we’ll be getting the hoonipigasus porsche since, hoonigan sold out to a mobile game that drives only in straight lines
0:47 did anyone else say “boogie woogie woogie”?! And that aero looks INSANELY COOL! I bet Sabine is smiling down proudly at such an incredible van. I wish we could see her rip this around the ‘Ring! What a legend.
Yes I did lol
Wow yup that's a winner!
@@EvanBlack11 yes.
yes i did
I would swear this looked like a newer version of Renault Espace F1 on a thumbnail!
Exactly my thoughts
Renault is crap
I replied with pretty much the same thought, and _then_ I saw you beat me to it.
Unless I missed it, I didn't hear any mention of the team that actually built the car. Stard company out of Austria is the builder who made the car for/with Ford. They are the geniuses behind the electric built. Not their first project for Ford either.
You definitely missed it, but they barely mentioned it so I'm not surprised. It was shortly after 11:30 right before the passenger ride.
U missed
This isn’t a van with 2 seats, just a vehicle in van’s shape. Just another super car with different bodywork. We gotta appreciate the Engineering work to keep this thing intact without body roll 🚀
Good to see Ford bring back a super van after all these years
The 1st gen has my heart always will. Imo nothing tops is, it just had so much character. New one is ok😑
Good to see Ford didn't give up on the variant, but gave up on everything else. 😮💨
It's not even a van anymore, the Supervan 3 is my favorite
That is Beautifully made. I had a matchbox of supervan 2 when I was a kid,loved it
I swear Romain does/did/will do anything.
Formula 3000, 24H of Le Mans, 24H of Daytona, WRC, Pikes Peak, Goodwood...
Never change, we love you.
I love how it even sounds like a cargo van when you close the door.
I'd love to see Renault do another F1 espace and put it against this in a race
Nice one a good shout
AMG One Van?
Sabine (RIP) would love this!!
Manfred Mann looks more composed driving this on a track than I look driving my Transit through a roundabout.
Really cool van, and makes me happy about it being electric, but... I'm still in love with 1994's Renault Space with V10 F1 engine.
Yessir! When first seen the Renault in action on old race footage I did fall in aww😍 the sound from that v10 was just music. Kinda reminded me of the Mazda 787b's 4 rotor, both engines love breathing and screaming 😱
Noisy for electric???
What a beast, 1328lb ft of INSTANT torque must feel INSANE.
Sadly it looked like they barely went over 40mph, hopefully a proper speed test soon.
@@will4may175
Goodwood.
Yes it was...you should of seen the smoke off the start line.
And in something that weighs far less than a traditional Transit. Man was not meant to make such things, but here we are!
@@will4may175 lol...it hit 76 mph from the start.
i like how ford always did something like this to almost every new generation of the transit van
The new Supervan be lookin like the Renault F1 van
That's my first thought. Seems really lookalikes Espace F1. Legend SuperVan
Yeah made me think of it
Yeah, but that Espace had a V10 making like 800bhp
@@garbage2882 But what a sound mate
@@AndresDCK i mean that's good, i was just showing the difference
I love how relaxed he looks when driving.
Seems very agile and nimble considering it's a boxy type van 😂😆😁 awesome creation and power of Ford.
Ahh YES PLEASE!!! Reminds me of the Espace F1.
Imagine if Amazon starts using this as their new delivery van 😳😳😳
Same minute delivery l.
Supervan is a understatement. This is a hypervan
Finally, the car manufacturers are getting creative and bold again, let's hope others will join.
This van has the potential to earn a Guinness World Record for fastest van since it can go around 200MPH!
SUPERVAN!!! THE SUPERMAN OF VANS!!!!!!
It will be really near to 1994's Renault Space F1 :)
boostedboiz Rowdesey is the fastest street legal van
Love the wheel size the most. The stance is awesome.
I like Ford's spirit, and you gotta respect Bill Ford & CEO Jim Farley's commitment to going all-in on Electric, and making it fun. Nobody is calling Ford's EVs boring or 'golf carts'.
I still remember the Renault Espace F1
*This thing looks incredible* 😍
Had massive fun blasting around in the Tansit Supervan 3 in Blur. I miss it.
12:40 it's noisy but I wish some sporty electric cars kept this sound. The engine is the personality of the car after all
Pretty sure it's the straight-cut gears in the gearbox making that sound, not the motor.
@@HidingAllTheWay Right, that sounds like most straight-cut gears on race cars.
Fair point
I can see why in consumer-made vehicles this is dampened to the point of silence. This on the way to work....ugh.
That said, with racing and the like, this is a sound that is growing on me.
@@DuvJones They even have to redesign tyres for EV for this purpose (deleting as much sound as possible).
Yeah, the humming-jet-engine-like sound from an EV is somehow a good alternative (not substitute) to traditional ICE sound.
It would be better for Lewis to change his W13 for this transit, it seems to be faster and doesn't jump 😂
This is the van i need desperately
great plate, they managed to get 'supervan 4 battery electric vehicle' into a legal format. nice touch that pleases sadcases like myself
I caught a glimpse of this at GoodWood FOS, and have wondered about that rear aero since. Great video 👌🏼
I LITERALLY just saw this at Goodwood
OMG! Love this Ford SuperVan already!
Perfect thing for Takumi's delivery
**EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES**
VW should make an electric Drag Bus like Hotwheels.
Need this for my new work van.
"Just imagine how quickly you could deliver parcels in this thing"
Yeah...they'll all go to parcel heaven and you'll go to hell after you smash into a family SUV at 160mph
I for one Absolutely LOVE this, just like a full-size RC car!
Hopefully Top Gear can do a video on my AWD Dual engine Hybrid Smart fortwo!
That superVan II was badass but that last incarnation is NUTS!
Was inside this earlier at Goodwood. All I can say is...bloody insane
That new e super van is something else love what they're doing with these electric cars
This is the best-looking van I've ever seen wth
This looks like one of those hotwheels I had as a kid... AWESOME
Sounds incredible, almost like straight cut gears!
Maybe the differentials have straight cuts gears.
Love the nod to the original with the rear lights.
At least you’ll be able to carry extra battery packs around in the back.
If it had a 'back'
Wow! Simply stunning 👏🏻👏🏻
This us one of the most beautiful vehicles ive ever seen
Wow supervan 4 !!! Love the supervan 1
Amazing work of art 👌🏼
We need a racing series with these!
How long do you think it will be before we need to find a better material than rubber in order to apply all the power we can generate now?
You hear the EMF from the motors, that's absolutely AMAZING
...please don't comment on things you don't know.
reminds me of the F1 Espace project
I love this vehicle, but its funny that no resemblance to the street version. Totally different design. :D
Looking Amazing
You deliver half the stuff but you’re there in a quarter of the time. Businessssss 😎
I somehow missed jack. Love your presentation
Thr Ford transit in general is by far one of the most fun cars I've ever driven
I will be buying this when it is release!
not sure if you can count it as a van but very cool nonetheless
Can we get a one make series of these vehicles please? Would be epic
Oh I miss Renault Espace F1….
Ford always makes the coolest one offs.
Super amazing van!!
Ford doing some cool stuff, that insane Mach E monster and now this, it's cool
What are those paddles for on the back of the steering wheel? What do they do ?
i love it when he said "mach-e" with out the m...... y'know
A beast 🔥🔥
The rear diffuser with the lime green accents line reminded me of a lambo adventador rear diffuser for some reason lol
It does look good
The touchscreen from the machE is hilarious. Like someone last minute went to their lease machE and just ripped it out like “ford will understand”
Where exactly was this filmed? Is this Goodwood as well?
Those roads look hella fun to drive! 👌
The style is more than inspired from the Renault Espace F1
That rear end is sick
Man imagine a drag race with this thing. 😃
🔥🔥🔥🔥watching from Kenya🇰🇪
Such a silly idea but I love it!
2000hp car showcased on a go-kart track...come on guys we want to see this on a proper track.
Goodwood
This vehicle will be showcased at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Which starts today. That will likely be a full bor run for the shootout on the Sunday (weather permitting).
@@DuvJones ah okay I see, thanks!
Kratzee
Interested in the nice little beat played at 5:14
Respect….didn’t sell out when every other car company was bailed out. And I still don’t like electric. But with this, you never know. I’d love to have one with an LS1 and all the quad turbo trimmings…, ahhhh cars.
Beautiful
That is soooo cool!
I’ve really tried but time and time again, i just can’t bring myself to give this guy a thumbs up.
The Best looking Supervan in my opinion.
I would love to see this go up Pike Peek next year
This is the only van I would drive as a family man. A Superman needs a super van
Just saw this thing on the livestream,this quick
I would immediately order one today but I’ve got range anxiety 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Wohhooooo 🎉🔥🎉🔥 beautiful drive
Wow, I loved the old supervan.
I have never wanted anything more for absolutely no reason apart from that i do want one
Sabine would love it
I from Thailand Beautiful Ford crazy so cool 👍👍👌👌👏👏
I’m all about the arrow in the back where the whole back of the van is open
