A new documentary piece from the Blue Oval badge chronicles the Supervan from its Genesis to its recent race to the clouds
Ford took one of the most unconventional vehicles possible to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb earlier this year. There are almost countless challenges for any racer at Pikes Peak. In this near-20-minute documentary, Ford outlines the hurdles it had to overcome to send SuperVan 4.2 up the mountain. It didn't win but it came closer than it probably should have.
The team worked tirelessly for six weeks to get the SuperVan to the mountain and somehow managed to pull it off. Understandably, it made a mark on those who saw it lined up next to hordes of other race cars. Watching this behemoth make its way into the clouds is a bit surreal. The benefits of electrification become clear in this extreme setting. The motors don't care that the air is getting thin. The low center of gravity allows the tall vehicle to remain nimble and quick in the turns.
