Tire Burning Mode Coming to Ford’s Electric Cars

According to a patent that Ford submitted to the US Patent Office yesterday, the US automotive giant wants to add a tire burning mode to its electric cars that will be produced in the coming years.

Burning a tire (also known as Burnout), which we often see in movies and video games, may seem very easy from the outside, but it is actually a very difficult and complex process for an ordinary person to do. Moreover, when you burn tires, you can quickly melt the tires of your vehicle, and if you continue, you can cause serious damage to the vehicle.

But of course, these dangers don’t change the fact that burning tires is pretty cool. Knowing this, Ford knocked on the door of the US Patent Office to add a “tire burning mode” to its new electric cars.

Warning: Burning tires can pose a serious danger to you, your vehicle and those around you if it is not controlled. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you try such things by taking the necessary safety precautions in traffic-free areas.

If you want, you will be able to “burn” 4 tires at once.

It turned out that Ford applied to the US patent office yesterday for a patent for the “Burnout Mode”, which allows electric cars to optionally burn the rear, front or both rear and front tires. When you activate this mode, the ECU, which we can call the brain of the vehicle, locks the brakes on the other wheels according to which tires you want to burn, allowing you to burn tires easily while the vehicle is stationary.

In fact, the tire burning mode has been in some internal combustion vehicles for a long time. This feature, which became popular with the 4.6-liter and 5-liter Ford Mustang GTs from 2015 models and later, was also used in some super sports cars such as the McLaren 675LT. In addition, Ford introduced its experimental feature called “4×4 Tire Burning Mode” in its 4×4 electric car named Ford Mustang Mach-E Prototype (This vehicle was an improved prototype of the standard Mach-E model), which it introduced for the first time in 2020.

The reason why this patent of Ford is interesting is; The US automotive giant is preparing the feature for use in mass production electric vehicles for the first time. So in summary; Now everyone can burn tires.

Tire burning mode actually makes your job easier by doing all the operations you need to do in a standard internal combustion vehicle. For example, if you select the rear wheels when you activate the mode, the ECU locks the brakes on the front wheels and regulates the vehicle’s electric motors to give maximum torque. Afterwards, when you press the brake and the gas at the same time, the vehicle can burn the tire without any difficulty.

The fact that even the small electric motors in some electric cars have high torque output shows us that this feature can become widespread very easily and can be found in almost every electric car.

If this feature, patented by Ford, becomes widespread, burning tires that once required talent could turn into something ordinary that anyone can do.
