The Ford Pro Electric SuperVan was showcased at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK as a “high-speed science experiment”. But it is above all its specifications that make you dizzy.
On the other side of the Channel, the Goodwood Festival of Speed (June 23 – 26, 2022) is currently taking place, an automotive event which brings together many historic racing vehicles. It is also an opportunity for some manufacturers to put several of their projects in the spotlight.
Polestar, for example, gave more information on its Polestar 5, its future anti-Tesla Model S. Ford, for its part, presented its Ford Pro Electric SuperVan, which brings the Ford Transit Supervan up to date, but with electric sauce.
