Welcome Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck
The electric Ford F-150 Lightning is available with a system power of up to 588 hp and is therefore certainly no slouch. Yet even the most powerful version of this F-150 Lightning pales in comparison to this Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck. It slams a pleasantly insane 1,400 hp onto the asphalt.
The heavily spoiled monster in these photos goes by the name Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck and is of course not a variant that will soon populate the American Ford showrooms. It is an extremist developed by Ford Performance with which it will participate in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The goal: to perform even better than the Ford SuperVan 4.2, which was prepared for the same event last year. Just like that crazy electric crack nose packaged as a Transit, this Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck has a whopping 1,400 hp. The underlying concept of this crazy pickup actually has nothing to do with that of the F-150 Lightning.
The spoiler and wing work of this new crazy electric Ford should generate no less than 2,722 kilos of downforce at a speed of about 240 km/h. The drivetrain is otherwise the same as that of the aforementioned SuperVan and therefore also consists of three electric motors. Two of them are concerned with the rear wheels, the third is on the front axle. The device is equipped with, among other things, carbon-ceramic brakes and stands on lightweight wheels made of magnesium around which Pirelli P-Zero rubber is folded. With this F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, Ford Performance hopes to improve the Pikes Peak time it clocked last year with the SuperVan 4.2. That racing car managed to complete the hill climb in 8 minutes and 47.68 seconds.
