To navigate the zombie apocalypse in pure luxury, look no further than the 2023 EarthRoamer LTi, based on the Ford F-550 chassis. Power comes from a 7.3L V8 engine making 350 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift override as well as a tow / haul mode.
The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse R would fit nicely alongside the 1800HP Super Cobra Jet unveiled earlier this year, as it’s also a track-only race car. Power comes from a 5.0L Coyote V8 that now makes over 500hp, thanks to an upgraded oil system, transmission cooling, differential cooling, as well as a Borla racing exhaust system, mated to a 6-speed Tremec 3160 manual transmission.
The all-new Ford SuperVan 4.2 is not your standard minivan, as it’s headed to the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb competition that features 156 turns up 4,725 feet to a finish line sitting at 14,115 feet above sea level. Power comes from three STARD UHP 6-phase motors (one in front and two at the rear) connected to STARD’s Ultra High Performance Li-Polymer NMC pouch cells that generate a combined 1400hp.
This custom chopped 2011 Ford Fiesta could be yours for $5,100 USD, and it’s not an optical illusion. It was modified approximately 11-years ago when it only had 7,000-miles on the odometer due to the original 4-door vehicle being a salvage. More specifically, the vehicle was shortened by a full 3-feet.
The 2024 Ford Mustang GT3 made its debut today at Le Mans, and the race car will compete in both the 2024 World Endurance Championship season as well as the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans. Power comes from a modified Coyote-based 5.4L V8 engine making a maximum of 670 hp, mated to a rear-mounted transaxle gearbox.
The all-new Ford Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800 aims to set new NHRA records for electric vehicles. It comes equipped with four PN-250-DZR inverters, mated to two double-stacked DS-250-115 motor pairings as well as a new transmission from Liberty. It’s powered by an entirely revamped, lighter weight battery system designed by Ford Performance and MLe Racecars.
Hennessey Performance just set a new annual ‘Christmas Tree Run’ record in a blistering fast 1000hp Mustang GT500, also known as the VENOM 1000, with the Grinch himself behind the wheel. A hand-built supercharged 5.2L V8 with a 2.65-liter Roots-type supercharger on top makes 1000 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, allowing the Grinch to hit a top speed of 192 mph with an illuminated Christmas tree strapped to the roof.

Believe it or not, a street-legal 2006 Ford GT, called ‘BADD GT’, manage to hit 310.8 mph at Space Florida’s launch & landing facility, driven by Johnny Bohmer. It achieved this by swapping out the original supercharger for a twin-turbocharged system that generates approximately 2,700 hp.

The 6th-generation Ford Fiesta was first released in 2008 and is considered a sport compact car, but this owner wanted something even smaller. So, they apparently chopped off half of the vehicle and turned it into a makeshift Smart Fortwo. For those wanting to see it in person, you’ll have to be in or around the Richland, Washington area.
