Ford is lastly doing it. After taking an electrical van and an electrical truck to Pikes Peak in back-to-back years, the Blue Oval is now going to assault the enduring hill climb with a Tremendous Mustang Mach-E.
Ford offered only a few particulars concerning the wild-looking electrical automobile. It’s clearly a Mustang Mach-E in model, but it surely rides a lot decrease to the bottom. It has an completely bonkers rear wing hanging over an equally ridiculous rear diffuser. Sandwiched between the 2 huge aero components are the crossover’s tri-bar taillights and a perforated insert.

The entrance of the EV has an enormous entrance splitter that matches the audaciousness of the rear, and it appears a lot flatter and wider than the manufacturing Mach-E. If that is like Ford’s different Tremendous EVs, that is doubtless a Mach-E physique on prime of a devoted racing chassis.
Ford says the EV can create 6,125 kilos of downforce, surpassing the opposite two. The SuperVan 4.2 created 4,400 lbs of downforce, whereas the SuperTruck made 6,000 lbs. We don’t know the way a lot energy the Tremendous Mach-E is making, but when it’s like the opposite two, it ought to have 1,400 horsepower on faucet and three electrical motors.
This yr’s Pikes Peak Worldwide Hill Climb is on June 22. When Ford campaigned the SuperVan, it set a brand new file, beating the earlier one by practically 37 seconds. Ford did not say if it needed to interrupt one other one this yr.
