Will we odor a three-peat? The staff at Ford Efficiency is as soon as once more competing on the annual Pikes Peak Worldwide Hill Climb, and this yr is bringing a “Tremendous” model of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E… A minimum of we predict there’s a Mach-E in there someplace.
Pikes Peak—the “Race to the Clouds.” This annual occasion spanning 12.42 miles to an elevation of over 14,000 toes within the mountains above Colorado has been celebrated for over 100 years. Whereas its hill climb is rooted in custom and conventional autos, it has grow to be an annual alternative for EV engineers to showcase how significantly better all-electric fashions will be.
Final yr, Rivian, Hyundai, and Ford Efficiency all impressed, with the previous two automakers snagging information for his or her automobile sorts, whereas Ford’s “F-150 Supertruck” took the “King of the Mountain” crown for the quickest climb of the day.
This previous January, we realized that Ford Efficiency deliberate to defend its title at Pikes Peak with its third all-electric demonstrator in as a few years. On the time, we solely noticed a sheeted automobile that gave the impression to be comparatively low with an enormous spoiler, however the glowing entrance emblem left little doubt that it was a modified model of the Mustang Mach-E.
At the moment, Ford Efficiency unveiled the BEV it would use to climb Pikes Peak, which it’s calling the Tremendous Mustang Mach-E. Have a gander.

Ford Efficiency shared the pictures seen above in an Instagram publish with the next caption:
12 miles of mountain highway. 156 turns. 14,115 toes of elevation. That is the @pikespeakhillclimb, and we’re bringing 6,125 lbs of downforce — and @romaindumas_official — to take it on with the Tremendous Mustang Mach-E.
From the publish, we’ve realized the Tremendous Mustang Mach-E shall be pushed up Pikes Peak by none apart from veteran French racer Romain Dumas. Dumas has a wealth of expertise in a number of the world’s largest (and longest) races, together with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nürburgring 24 Hours, and the 24 Hours of Daytona.
He has been contracted to Ford Efficiency since 2022 and has received two of his 5 Hill Climb victories with the American automaker up to now two years (though the 2023 SuperVan victory was within the division and second total). Might Dumas tally his sixth profession victory at Pike Peak with a three-peat with Ford within the Tremendous Mustang Mach-E?
Ford Efficiency and Romain Dumas have proven they will do it, so it’s a severe chance. We are going to discover out on June 22, 2025, when the 103rd working of the Pikes Peak Worldwide Hill Climb takes place.
