Ford is finally doing it. After taking an electric van and an electric truck to Pikes Peak in back-to-back years, the Blue Oval is now going to attack the iconic hill climb with a Super Mustang Mach-E.
Ford provided very few details about the wild-looking electric vehicle. It’s clearly a Mustang Mach-E in style, but it rides much lower to the ground. It has an utterly bonkers rear wing hanging over an equally ridiculous rear diffuser. Sandwiched between the two massive aero elements are the crossover’s tri-bar taillights and a perforated insert.

The front of the EV has a massive front splitter that matches the audaciousness of the rear, and it looks much flatter and wider than the production Mach-E. If this is like Ford’s other Super EVs, this is likely a Mach-E body on top of a dedicated racing chassis.
Ford says the EV can create 6,125 pounds of downforce, surpassing the other two. The SuperVan 4.2 created 4,400 lbs of downforce, while the SuperTruck made 6,000 lbs. We don’t know how much power the Super Mach-E is making, but if it’s like the other two, it should have 1,400 horsepower on tap and three electric motors.
This year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is on June 22. When Ford campaigned the SuperVan, it set a new record, beating the previous one by nearly 37 seconds. Ford didn’t say if it wanted to break another one this year.
