1:18 Scale. Ford Performance Red Bull E-Transit SuperVan 4.2 – 2024 Bathurst Lap Record

The Ford Performance E-Transit SuperVan 4.2 is an electrifying demonstration of Ford’s commitment to innovation and high-performance electric vehicles. It’s anything but ordinary. It represents an upgraded edition based on the fourth iteration in a series of performance-oriented vans and features a fully electric powertrain that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in utility vehicles.

Refined from the SuperVan 4, the design of the SuperVan 4.2 is heavily focused on aerodynamics and speed, with hill climbing feats specifically in mind. A complete redesign of the aerodynamics including a lightweight carbon fiber rear spoiler, front splitter and a chassis weight reduction meant the upgraded 4.2 package was lighter, better balanced, agile, and could exert extreme amounts of downforce while still being able to cut through the air efficiently.

With highly accomplished French racing driver Romain Dumas at the wheel, the Ford SuperVan 4.2 competed at the 101st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2023 finishing 1st in its division and 2nd overall, with a time of 8:47.682.

On 25th February 2024, history was made at Mount Panorama during the Supercars Thrifty Bathurst 500 with the 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-kilometre racetrack. With Dumas once again at the helm, SuperVan 4.2 lapped Mount Panorama in an electrifying time of 1:56.3247, with a top speed in excess of 300km/h achieved on both Mountain Straight and Conrod Straight. For context, the lap time was set just after the Supercars Top 10 Shootout, which finished with a pole time of 2:06.5465.

This incredible machine will be replicated in sealed body format with clear windows and high detail throughout, including the interior which can be seen through the clear acrylic glass housing moulded to the body of the model. The breathtaking exterior of the model will be dressed in the stunning Red Bull Ford Performance livery and will come in an exclusive limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
