Ford will return to Pikes Peak soon with a familiar face—five-time winner Romain Dumas—but a shiny new ride. Welcome to the Ford 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 around, 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 tons. That’s 500kg more than what a road-legal Mach-E weighs. Sheesh.
We’ve 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 1,600hp output. Do you think Ford can make it two wins in two?
