Clocking in at just six seconds shy of last year's record, the SuperTruck's performance at Pikes Peak showcases the cutting-edge of electric vehicle technology.
Aerodynamics play a pivotal role, with the SuperTruck featuring an advanced aero package including a massive triple-element front splitter and the widest wing ever seen on a truck.
Despite adverse conditions, the innovative electric powertrain performed optimally, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in electric motorsport.
Ford's commitment to electric innovation is evident as the SuperTruck follows in the electrifying tracks of last year's SuperVan 4.2, which also made waves at Pikes Peak.
With 1,600 horsepower delivered by three ultra-high-performance motors, the SuperTruck's specs are as impressive as its sleek, aerodynamic design.
This year's race not only tested the limits of electric performance but also marked a significant milestone in the storied history of Ford vehicles conquering Pikes Peak since 1916.
Custom designed carbon ceramic brakes and Pirelli P-Zero tires provide the SuperTruck with unmatched control on the mountain's treacherous curves.
