Ford Performance is set to tackle the 102nd Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with its newest electric vehicle, the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck. Building on the success of the SuperVan 4.2, which captured multiple records in 2023, the SuperTruck aims to showcase Ford's cutting-edge EV technology under extreme conditions. Developed in collaboration with Ford Design and STARD Advanced Research and Development, the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck boasts advanced aerodynamics, generating 6,000 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. Veteran racer Romain Dumas, the current overall record holder at Pikes Peak, will pilot the SuperTruck. This marks Dumas's ninth appearance and second time racing for Ford Performance at the event.
