Mustang Mach-E Crowned Pike’s Peak Open Winner, Extending EV Dominance

At the 2026 Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb, Ford’s Super Mustang Mach-E won the Unlimited – Production-based class and topped the field with an 8:18.202, beating Robin Shute in a Sendycar V1 by more than 11 seconds, with Simone Faggioli’s NP01 third. The result reinforces EV performance at high altitude, though the all‑time overall record (7:57.148) still belongs to Romain Dumas’ VW ID.R in 2018, run in a different class. Last year’s race was hampered by weather, and Ford returned this year to prove the mountain “decides” in favor of electric racers. Other EV entrants like Evasives’ Ioniq 5N were sidelined by practice damage.
