History has been made at Mount Panorama during the Thrifty Bathurst 500 event, with the Ford Performance SuperVan 4.2 setting a trio of lap records, securing the benchmark time for the quickest closed-wheel vehicle, electric vehicle, and commercial vehicle to lap the 6.2-kilometer racetrack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With Romain Dumas at the helm, SuperVan 4.2 lapped Mount Panorama in an electrifying time of\u00a01:56.3247, with a top speed of more than 300 kilometers (186 miles) per hour on the Mountain and Conrod straights.<\/p>\n

The new benchmark time from SuperVan 4.2 is a line in the sand, heralding a new era for electric vehicles, with the purpose-built demonstrator pushing the limits of EV performance during its time in Bathurst, beating an unrestricted Mercedes-AMG car in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effort and expertise it took to reset the benchmark lap time for a closed-wheel vehicle around Mount Panorama cannot be understated,\u201d said Mark Rushbrook, Global Director, Ford Performance Motorsports. \u201cRomain Dumas worked alongside our team to innovate, learn, adapt, and the result is a time that exceeded our own expectations. There is a reason why we chose to bring SuperVan 4.2 to Mount Panorama after Pikes Peak \u2013 there is nowhere quite like it in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is now the second time Romain Dumas has re-written the history books with SuperVan 4.2, following his record-smashing run at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile both are impressive mountains in their own right, Mount Panorama and Pikes Peak couldn\u2019t be more different in their challenges,\u201d Dumas said. \u201cThis is the first time I have driven SuperVan 4.2 faster than 300km\/h, and we left nothing on the table as we pushed for the fastest lap possible. No one has ever driven a vehicle like SuperVan 4.2 around Mount Panorama, and certainly not this quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

SuperVan 4.2 is not your traditional race car. Standing tall at roughly double the height of a GT3 race car, weighing almost 1800kg, and with not a drop of fuel in sight, nothing like it has ever tackled the legendary tarmac of Mount Panorama.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor two weeks the SuperVan team didn\u2019t stop working on making this electric van as fast as possible,\u201d said Sriram Pakkam, Manager, Formula 1 and EV Demonstrators, Ford Performance. \u201cThe global Ford Performance network was activated to ensure SuperVan 4.2 was as capable as possible. Almost immediately Mount Panorama challenged both car and team, but we were able to implement a number of key changes that improved our capabilities and brought the lap times down every session.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After two weeks of running at Mount Panorama, fans have been able to see what electric performance truly means, and glimpse into an electrified future of motorsport.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuperVan 4.2 really has to be seen to be believed, and we are thrilled that Aussie race fans have been able to witness its history making runs around Mount Panorama,\u201d said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia. \u201cLessons learned from SuperVan\u2019s running in Australia will have a direct flow into Ford\u2019s next generation of electric road cars. That means future products that customers drive on our roads will have a little spirit of Mount Panorama carried within them.\u201d<\/p>\n

SuperVan 4.2 will now be transported to the Ford Proving Ground in Victoria, Australia, before its appearances at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and Rolex Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix<\/p>\n
