Electric efficiency now translates to track success - with the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning proving a finish-line competitor to the most unlikely of rivals.ÂÂ
According to Inside EVs, the new F-150 Lightning has proven itself at the pump (delivering a segment-leading 76 MPGe in the city and 61 MPGe on the highway, courtesy of its dual electric motor configuration). For those craving quicksilver speeds, however, it may also lead the pack - keeping pace with the Lambo Huracan.
Pitted in a race that crossed both segment lines and expectations, the 2022 F-150 Lightning pushed itself to the limit - going lap for lap against the famed Huracan. Lamborghini’s forged-composite supercar is tailored for speed, fusing each rev with Pirelli P Zero performance and an aspirated V10. It’s a dual-clutch masterpiece that yields 630 HP and 442 lb.-ft of torque; and it seems a peculiar choice to test Ford’s EV pick-up.
Critics were pleased to discover, however, that the new F-150 Lightning earned an impressive performance against the Huracan, with its lithium-ion battery generating 426 HP. Its standard 4x4 configuration allowed for near instant torque delivery, taking advantage of the available 775 lb.-ft; and this provided a 0 to 60 blitz of 4 seconds - barely trailing behind Lamborghini’s 2.6. The two maintained a virtually even breakneck pace down the track, proving that Ford’s latest pick-up is ready for more than the highway.
