Overview

  • Three STARD UHP six-phase motors deliver over 1,421 horsepower, generating 6,900 pounds of downforce at 150 mph.
  • The demonstrator sits on a bespoke lightweight chassis with a 50-kilowatt-hour battery pack built to cut roughly 250 pounds compared to its predecessor.
  • A full carbon fiber aerodynamic package featuring forged magnesium wheels works with carbon brakes to handle extreme forces on the 4,720-foot ascent.
  • Romain Dumas will drive the number 310 Super Mustang Mach-E up Pikes Peak on June 22 in a bid for Ford’s third straight victory.
  • Ford plans to apply performance innovations from the hill climb car—such as 710 kW regenerative braking—to its next-generation electric vehicle lineup.
