Apart from the fact that it's anything but a van, even the chassis itself is custom. It's mostly aero ...and marketing

EXCELLENT WORK FORD!!!!!! I'm a long time pikes fan and remember when Rod Millen ran a 10 minute time in in a Toyota pickup truck. Because of this and his knowledge of the pikes peak, I would have begged him to drive for me. That said, clearly this guy knows what he is doing.

This is a perfect "function over form" car. The most polite word I can think of to describe they way it looks is...awkward, but it's a rocket. I am a long time Vette person and I am trying not to fall in love with electric cars but the truth is, my Vette wouldn't go that fast is I pushed it out of a helicopter. LOL

Not taking anything away from the achievement, just my opinion on the video itself. 🙂👍🏁

Do you want to live in a world with electric performance cars, or no performance cars? Those are basically your options when it comes to the future. It a perfect world, the V8 sports cars would live on forever, but that's not gonna happen unless Ford comes up with a fuel cell hydrogen powered V8 or something. I'd rather have sporty EVs over no sporty cars at all.
