This is Ford’s Super Mustang Mach-E racer for the 2025 Pikes Peak hillclimb

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. 

It also looks like the original roofline has been redesigned into a more traditional fastback silhouette, and combined with the gaping vents behind the front wheel arches, contributes to a downforce rating of almost 2.8 tonnes. That’s 500kg more than what a road-legal Mach-E weighs. Sheesh.

We’re yet to receive any firm powertrain details, but looking back at the Super Mustang’s immediate predecessor, the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, it could very well be a tri-motor setup with a circa 1,600bhp output. Because that’s the sort of power you need when you’re 2.67 miles above sea level.

Reckon Ford can make it two wins in two?
