Ford Super Mustang Mach-E Seeks Pikes Peak Record with Dumas

Ford is preparing to compete in the 2025 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with a new electric vehicle, the Super Mustang Mach-E, driven by record holder Romain Dumas. The vehicle, designed specifically for the race, features aggressive aerodynamics capable of generating up to 6,125 pounds of downforce and is expected to deliver power exceeding the previous Ford challengers' 1,600 horsepower. Dumas, who holds the current overall record set in 2018 with the Volkswagen ID.R, aims to break the standing record once again with Ford's latest EV entry. The race, known as the "Race to the Clouds," takes place annually on a challenging 12-mile course with 156 turns and considerable elevation gain, scheduled for June 22, 2025. Ford’s new Super Mustang Mach-E represents a shift from prior vehicles, blending SUV and racecar design elements while continuing the trend of electric vehicles dominating the event. Preparations for the race include testing days on Pikes Peak Highway, with public access adjusted accordingly in advance of the event week.
