The EV Van Story: BATHURST, AUSTRALIA, Feb. 25, 2024 – 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. With Romain Dumas at the helm, SuperVan 4.2 lapped Mount Panorama in an electrifying time of 1:56.3247, with a top speed of more than 300 kilometers (186 miles) per hour on the Mountain and Conrod straights. 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 Mustang GT3 car in the process.
