Ford Super Mustang Mach-E will tackle 2025 Pikes Peak Hill Climb
Ford will tackle the 2025 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with the Super Mustang Mach-E. Aside from a body shell that vaguely resembles the production car, there's little in common between the Super Mustang Mach-E and the regular Mustang Mach-E. The clearest links between the two vehicles are the designs for the head- and tail-lights. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

Both are completely outdone by the towering wing that rises out of where the rear windscreen would normally be, and stands taller than the top of the roof. With its longer, flatter bonnet, as well as its low stance and wide arches, the race car looks more like a regular coupe than a family-friendly SUV. The Super Mustang Mach-E rides on OZ Racing wheels shod with slick Pirelli tyres. Supplied Credit: CarExpert So far Ford hasn't released any details about the Super Mustang Mach-E, except to say its outlandish aero kit generates a maximum of 2835kg of downforce. That bests the 2722kg generated by the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck which Ford took to the Peak in 2024, and the 1996kg produced by the Transit SuperVan 4.2 entered into the 2023 challenge. Last year's SuperTruck (below) was powered by three six-phase Stard UHP motors making a total of 1193kW (1600hp). Despite its brick-like appearance, the SuperTruck finished first overall last year. Piloted by Romain Dumas, the SuperTruck managed to wend its way through 156 corners to reach the 4300m summit in 8:53.553. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Romain Dumas is sticking with Ford this year, and will pilot the Super Mustang Mach-E. If the car is powerful and well sorted enough, he might even be able to beat the EV record he set in 2018 with the Volkswagen ID. R, which won that year's race up the mountain in 7:57.148. Even if the Super Mustang Mach-E is beaten to the top by another competitor, it should be significantly quicker than the Model T used in the 1916 race, which took 28 minutes and three seconds to ascend the peak along the then unpaved road.

This is Ford's Super Mustang Mach-E racer for the 2025 Pikes Peak hillclimb
Downforce? Completed it, mate Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. Ford will return to Pikes Peak in less than three weeks with a familiar face - five-time winner Romain Dumas - but a shiny new ride. Welcome to the 'Super Mustang' Mach-E: an all-electric load lugger slammed down and cranked up to 11. The Mach-E has received a considerable makeover for its summit, including negatively cambered wheels, that slammed body, devilish splitters all round and a quite terrifying rear wing. The latter is reminiscent of Suzuki's throwback Escudo Pikes Peak racer from 1996. Gran Turismo veterans will know the one.
