In a bold move reaffirming its commitment to innovation in the world of high-performance electric vehicles, Ford has recently unveiled its latest concept car, the “Super Mustang Mach-E,” designed specifically to compete in the 2025 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. This announcement comes after two years of impressive achievements for Ford at this legendary event, where the company dominated the summit with the electric F-150 Lightning in 2024 and, before that, with the SuperVan 4.2 in 2023—both driven by veteran driver Romain Dumas, who returns this year behind the wheel of the new Super Mustang.
Ford Raises the Bar at Pikes Peak
Ford Performance officially announced that the new car will compete in the 2025 race, confirming that the Super Mustang Mach-E will generate an incredible 6,125 lbs of downforce, granting it exceptional stability on the sharp turns and treacherous slopes of Pikes Peak. Romain Dumas, who secured two consecutive victories for Ford at this event, is the leading candidate to achieve a third consecutive win with this revolutionary vehicle.
Unprecedented Electric Performance... and Expectations of Massive Power
While Ford has yet to reveal full powertrain details for the Super Mustang, indications suggest it will surpass all expectations. Based on the SuperVan 4.2’s 1,400 horsepower output from three electric motors, and the F-150 Lightning’s 1,600+ horsepower, it’s likely the Super Mustang will offer similar or even greater power. The new car also excels in aerodynamics, exceeding even the Super Truck’s 6,000 lbs of downforce, further enhancing its potential for record-breaking acceleration and stability.
Is the Super Mustang a Glimpse into the Electric Mustang’s Future?
Beyond the race, the Super Mustang Mach-E has sparked much speculation about the future of the iconic Mustang brand. Ford recently filed to trademark the name “Mach 4,” hinting at the possibility of a new four-door electric Mustang model, a rumor circulating since 2018. There have also been leaks about presentations and prototypes of future Mustang models shown to Ford dealers, confirming the company’s openness to expanding the Mustang family with diverse electric options.
Notably, the new Super Mustang’s body and roofline differ significantly from previous Mach-E models, supporting the idea that it’s not just a one-off race car, but perhaps an early showcase of what Ford may offer in the next generation of electric Mustangs.
Engineering Innovation in the Service of Performance
The Super Mustang Mach-E embodies Ford’s philosophy of blending electric power with advanced engineering. The development team includes renowned names who previously worked on legendary models like the Ford GT and Mustang GT350R, ensuring an unprecedented level of performance and precision in every detail.
Pikes Peak: A Platform for Pushing the Limits
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is one of the world’s toughest and most famous hill climb races, where drivers face over 150 turns and elevations exceeding 4,000 meters above sea level. Major manufacturers use this event as a testing ground for their latest technologies under extreme conditions, making Ford’s participation with the Super Mustang Mach-E highly anticipated among car and performance enthusiasts.
With the launch of the Super Mustang Mach-E, Ford continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the electric vehicle world, proving that the future belongs not only to clean cars, but also to wild performance and bold design. As everyone awaits the results of the 2025 Pikes Peak race, the question remains: will this car be merely an engineering showcase, or the beginning of a new era in electric Mustang history?
