Ford's Rebel Electric Beast Roars Back at Pikes Peak
Ford unleashes the boldest electric Mustang model, purpose-built for the challenging Pikes Peak race.
The iconic race at Pikes Peak is all set to see some serious competition on June 22, 2025, with Ford's latest electric offering - the Super Mustang Mach-E! This high-performance electric vehicle is less about aesthetics and more about power, boasting an insane 6,125 pounds ( approximately 2.78 metric tons) of downforce, outweighing a standard road-legal Mach-E by nearly 500 kg.
Sporting an aggressive, skateboard-inspired design, the Super Mustang Mach-E features a jaw-dropping custom fastback-style roofline, bulging fenders, a massive front splitter, and a rear wing reminiscent of legendary hillclimber racers like the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from 1996. To ensure maximum grip on the mountain's treacherous, high-altitude course, Ford has equipped the vehicle with Pirelli racing slicks and negatively cambered wheels.
While specific powertrain details have yet to be disclosed, it's rumored that the Super Mustang Mach-E could employ a tri-motor setup,, similar to the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, which produced approximately 1,600 horsepower. The car's engineering has been fine-tuned to perform optimally at Pikes Peak's extreme altitude, where the course ascends from 1,440 meters (4,724 feet) to 4,302 meters (14,115 feet) across 156 turns.
At the helm of this electric beast will be seasoned Pikes Peak racer, Romain Dumas, who has already scored back-to-back victories for Ford in previous years. The Super Mustang Mach-E serves as a bold demonstration of Ford's groundbreaking EV technology and a quest to redefine electric hillclimb performance at Pikes Peak.
