The Ford SuperVan is a series of high-performance vehicles that combine powerful engines with the brand’s commercial vans. With a history dating back to the early 1970s, the SuperVan is known for its impressive capabilities. This year, the fully electric Supervan 4.2 is set to compete in the 101st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with Romain Dumas as the driver.

The “4.2” in the name signifies that this version is an upgraded variant of the Supervan that made its debut at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed. To enhance its performance on Pikes Peak’s challenging terrain, Ford has made several modifications to the Supervan 4.2. These include revising the aerodynamics to increase downforce, which contributes to better stability during the race’s 156 turns. The upgrades also include the addition of a carbon-fiber front splitter and rear spoiler. Moreover, efforts have been made to reduce the weight of the chassis, although the vehicle still weighs over 4,400 pounds.
