Broken Dreams: Ford Supervans. Superfast Deliveries
Ford's Supervan series turned ordinary Transit vans into high-speed monsters with GT40, Group C, and even Formula 1 engines. From 1971 to 1995, these insane machines pushed the limits of speed and aerodynamics.
Try to imagine the starting grid of a Grand Prix filled entirely with familiar vans transformed into racing machines! How cool would it be to see them flying around the circuit at over 250 km/h? Even better if there was a delivery waiting at the finish line, with bets placed on who would receive their package first!
Okay, we’re joking—well, only a little—because as you know, passion and madness often go hand in hand. Ford proved this in 1971 when it brought a Transit van to Brands Hatch, complete with wide wheels and a full race setup. What was it all about? You’d never guess, but underneath lay nothing less than a GT40, complete with its floorplan and a 400 hp V8 engine.
