The Ford Transit Supervans are a series of promotional vehicles built by Ford UK. They combine the outline and appearance of the popular Ford Transit van with the chassis and performance of a sports racing car.
The Supervan first appeared at the Easter 1971 meeting at Brands Hatch. Commonly rumoured to be based on a GT40 chassis, the build in fact used a modified Cooper Monaco spaceframe. Its mid-engined 400 bhp (298 kW) Ford V8 gave a standard pressed-steel Mark 1 Transit bodyshell a claimed top speed of around 150 mph (240 km/h). The vehicle had been built for Ford by Terry Drury Racing. Externally the van appeared very much like a standard Transit, in Ford's racing livery of white with low horizontal triple blue stripes. The wheel arches were flared to almost cover the wider wheels, but they were still noticeably exposed and different from those of a standard Transit. Aerodynamics of the high-mounted bodyshell were crude though, and although the van was usually demonstrated with drag starts, body lift limited its top speed on a track.
In 1978 the Transit was redesigned as the Mark II, with a much different appearance, making the original Supervan unsuitable for promoting the 'New' Transit.
The Supervan was rebuilt by Andy Browne in 2024.
In 1984 a new Supervan 2 was constructed. The bodyshell was a fibreglass replica of the Mark 2 Transit, although slightly lowered and fitted with a front airdam, large side air inlets and a high-mounted rear spoiler. The chassis was a Ford C100 Group C car, fitted with a Cosworth DFL engine. It was built by Auto Racing Technology of Wollaston Northants. Supervan 2's debut was at Donington Park for the first British truck racing Grand Prix. During tests at Silverstone, it was timed at 174 mph (280 km/h).
Supervan 2's promotional lifespan was even shorter than the first Supervan. Just over a year later, the Mark 3 Transit was released, with a very different outline.
In 1994, to promote the new Mark 3 Transit Facelift, Supervan 2 was rebuilt as Supervan 3. This was the first time that Supervan had been used to promote a new model, rather than a model already nearing its end of life. A seven-eighths scale reduced replica of the new bodyshell was fitted, together with a new engine, a Cosworth HB. The work was carried out by DRL Engineering of Suffolk. This version also had the longest promotional lifespan, appearing in public until 2001. With several liveries in Ford's blue and white over the years, its final appearance was in Royal Mail red, celebrating Ford's new contract to supply their vans, taking over from a long arrangement with Leyland DAF Vans.
In 2004 a refurbishment was announced. The engine was replaced with a more practical Ford-Cosworth Pro Sports 3000 V6 engine, and the 1984 Ford Motorsport blue and white livery was restored. This work was carried out by Sporting and Historic Car Engineers of Bicester.
In 2007 it was suggested that Supervan 3's chassis might be rebuilt into a C100 and used for historic sports car racing.
At the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan was introduced as a collaboration between Ford Performance and STARD. The first all-electric Ford SuperVan (and the fourth so far) achieves the highest-performance of any Ford van ever, with four electric motors, a 50kWh liquid-cooled battery and a bespoke control system to produce approximately 1,400.0 kilowatts (1,877.4 bhp). This enables it to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in under 2 seconds. The purpose-built chassis includes components from the recently unveiled electric Ford Transit Custom – the first fully electric version of the Ford Transit. The Ford Pro Electric SuperVan was designed by Ford Exterior Lead Designer Ernesto Rupar and Ford Lead Interior Designer Sebastian Toddenroth.
In 2023, the SuperVan 4 was rebuilt as the SuperVan 4.2, once again in partnership with STARD, with the goal of competing at the 101st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The SuperVan 4.2 was designed specifically for hill climbing, and features large front and rear spoilers, and a revised 3-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain with a total power output of 1,500 kW (2040 hp). Other changes from the SuperVan 4 include a new livery, an upgraded 600 kW regenerative braking system, a rebuilt frame, weight reduction, and a new high performance Li-Po NCM battery.
On June 25, 2023, the Ford SuperVan 4.2 competed at the 101st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, driven by Romain Dumas, finishing 1st in its division (Pikes Peak Open) and 2nd overall, with a time of 8:47.682.
On 25 February 2024 it set a lap time of 1:56.28 at Bathurst's Mount Panorama Circuit, faster than all V8 vehicles, and all else, except F1 promotional laps.
On 14 July 2024 it finished 1st at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb Shootout with a time of 0:43.98, driven by Romain Dumas.
In the December of 2024 it ran a 1:10.3 at the Top Gear test track.
