World's fastest van? The Ford Supavan3

Back in 2006 I was fortunate enough to dig Ford's Supavan out of hibernation and drive it on an airstrip for a Max Power magazine shoot. The airstrip was active, so we had to wait for radio clearance between aircraft landings to run the old girl. The space framed scaled down Transit body was fitted with a mid-mounted supercharged V6 Cosworth engine (not F1 but totally unsilenced) and sequential gearbox. Rear wheel drive, obviously. This is what it sounds like....

@lewis72

Interesting story. Never heard that before and I read a lot about cars and how they were developed.

The XJ Transit must have been insane.
