French racing driver Romain Dumas and Ford Racing emerged victorious at the 104th iteration of The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb; reaching the summit in 8:18.202 minutes behind the wheel of the number 125 Super Mustang Mach-E EV demonstrator. This marks Dumas’ sixth King of the Mountain title and Ford Racing’s second overall Pikes Peak victory.

Additionally, Dumas also won the new Unlimited – Production Based class, a highly-modified division created for extreme competition vehicles that retain a resemblance to a production or street-legal vehicle. The 20km course comprises 156 turns and a 1 440m elevation gain before reaching the 4 302m summit.

Developed in partnership with STARD, the Super Mustang Mach-E is powered by three STARD UHP 6-Phase motors, developing 1 044kW and a tarmac-shredding 3 118Nm of twisting force, delivered to all four wheels – the latter shod in Pirelli tyres. Its 50kWh battery supports up to 710kW of regenerative braking. The all-electric racecar features a radical aerodynamic package that generates approximately 5.4T of downforce at 322km/h, making it the highest-downforce vehicle to be tested at Pikes Peak.
