Ford Teases Performance-Focused F-150 Lightning Concept

Just a few days in the past Ford Efficiency introduced a brand new pickup idea from the “EV Efficiency Demonstrators” collection, however immediately the corporate is again with a brand new and extra revealing teaser. Ford’s CEO Jim Farley printed a single photograph on his Twitter the place he partially uncovers the F-150-based idea, joined by Crimson Bull F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.

Predictably, the truck is predicated on the Ford F-150 Lightning, however incorporates a wild bodykit and sits significantly nearer to the bottom. We will see the broader entrance and rear fenders and the aerodynamic entrance bumper with further intakes and light-weight blue accents.

The tweet doesn’t reveal any of the truck’s technical specs however guarantees we are going to be taught extra about it quickly. Nevertheless, judging from the remainder of the “EV Efficiency Demonstrators” it’s protected to imagine it should have a four-digit energy output determine and a track-focused chassis setup. Earlier ideas from the collection included the SuperVan, the Mustang Mach-E 1400, the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, and the F-100 Eliminator idea. Probably the most highly effective of all of them was the mighty Supervan, producing 1,973 hp (1,471 kW / 2,000 PS).

The aim of the ideas is to showcase the potential of EVs by way of efficiency and pleasure, so none of them is destined for manufacturing.

Ford lately introduced its huge return in F1 as a powertrain supplier for Crimson Bull beginning in 2026, which explains why Daniel Ricciardo had the privilege to see the truck. Hopefully, a correct unveiling will happen someday within the subsequent few weeks.
