As you can see in the image, the Lightning in question sits much lower to the ground. The purple/blue hue on the white truck remains a mystery. It’s not the same blue found on the Red Bull F1 car, and the F-150 Lightning hardly showcases any incredible aerodynamics alluded to by Farley of the new co-developed model.
However, we wouldn’t put it past Ford to leverage the new partnership for marketing purposes, even for concepts like this. The most potent F-150 Lightning currently produces 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. That’s not enough to carry the Red Bull badge, so Ford could go completely off the rails and introduce a quad-motor powertrain in the Lightning like the seven-motor spectacle from the Mustang Mach-E 1400, which produced 1,400 hp.
While Red Bull Ford will only start competing together in 2026, work is already underway. We can expect many Red Bull limited edition cars, possibly named after the drivers.
