Is Bathurst next? Electric Ford F-150 race car enters Pikes Peak hillclimb

AutoExec Summary
Ford will return to the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb with a modified electric F-150 Lightning ‘SuperTruck’ driven by Romain Dumas, following the success of the electric SuperVan 4.2 in 2023. The SuperTruck is expected to be faster and more aerodynamic, with a lightweight body and carbon-composite extensions generating more downforce. Ford has worked with STARD in developing the vehicle, and plans to use three electric motors making more than 1044kW. The SuperTruck could potentially target the lap record set by a Formula One car at Bathurst in 2011. The Pikes Peak International Hillclimb is a marquee event for motorsport fans, attracting major car manufacturers to showcase their vehicles.
