Man and did yall ever perform!! Just incredible!! My mind is blown, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I, too, was holding my breath on that run! Absolutely marvelous, congratulations you all!!!🎉🎉
For everyone's information, behind Michael the English guy, is Ford UKs Heritage Collection. Its recently moved from Essex to Coventry in England. A few friends from the Northern Ireland RS Owners Club visited it over the summer, and the collection is mind blowing 😎👌
I am so impressed. I'm a thrasher. Been one since 1979. Nice work you bunch of stupendously awesome Fordies. Way to go. Totally amazing teamwork and vision. Ford has this country's best engineers. No doubt.
EXCELLENT WORK FORD!!!!!! I'm a long time pikes fan and remember when Rod Millen ran a 10 minute time in in a Toyota pickup truck. Because of this and his knowledge of the pikes peak, I would have begged him to drive for me. That said, clearly this guy knows what he is doing.
Immediately Ken Block comes to mind upon watching this. Thinking if he would be with us he would have made a remarkable attempt at smashing the mountain in the pink pig Porsche. I love pikes peak soo epic
This is a perfect "function over form" car. The most polite word I can think of to describe they way it looks is...awkward, but it's a rocket. I am a long time Vette person and I am trying not to fall in love with electric cars but the truth is, my Vette wouldn't go that fast is I pushed it out of a helicopter. LOL
This was a great watch... Unbelievable engineering.. achieved the impossible. Well done to everyone involved and especially the man with the balls of steel to drive that van up the mountain
Great video. Congrats to all. To paraphrase their feeling about coming in second; I'm not disappointed in the video but it would have been better in 4K with more in car footage.
Not a SuperVan at all... that's a HYPERVAN!!!! Good job Ford! Can't wait to see what you have next! Maybe a Ford Performance inverter for the Mach E Eluminator motor😉
Love to see these kinds of projects from Ford! Great job by all! If I could offer a suggestion/criticism of the video itself. I would have liked to have seen the whole run from several of the onboards somewhere in here. All the cuts and canned sounds kind of broke the feeling for me. Not taking anything away from the achievement, just my opinion on the video itself. 🙂👍🏁
I can hear Ken Block asking the Ford Reps, “Can I Hoon It?” 😂😂 For those who don’t know, he asked that of the reps of the Mach E when it was introduced to him.
I still can't believe that you had the best rally stage on the entire planet and covered it with tarmac. "156 turns. That's a lot." *laughs in 6 laps of Isle of Man TT*
Taking nothing away from an absolutely insane build but this is far removed from a van unlike previous years where they’ve actually used a van that was on a production line
No matter how fast EV's are, they will never be as exciting as an ICE vehicle. Hence, the need for animation and special effects when you showed it crossing the starting line. 14:29
Do you want to live in a world with electric performance cars, or no performance cars? Those are basically your options when it comes to the future. It a perfect world, the V8 sports cars would live on forever, but that's not gonna happen unless Ford comes up with a fuel cell hydrogen powered V8 or something. I'd rather have sporty EVs over no sporty cars at all.
When they first released the windstar van any minivan and almost car outruns in the Nevada to california to tahoe is this the comeback of ford minivan jeezz I'm excited
Came in expecting a full run video, but this is a fun watch, still! BTW, Pikes Peak organization needs to figure out a way to amplify the natural sound of the motors! Ford knows the silly sirens are no good.
Britain made Ford what it is today. The modern ford culture, design everything is British. The ford GT(GT40), Ford super van, Focus/Fista RS, ST and whole rally division is British. Also Mustang, Monde and Focus/Fista all borrow the design from Aston Martin. Only thing that's still American is the Pick-up trucks and we don't want nothing to do with that.
Fantastic chassis with the best driver for the task. Now, depending on what Ford marketing is pushing, the chassis is fitted with a body mold of an SUV or Van or Pickup. Some body parts carryover from one mold to the other, like the wing.
More on Romain's process for picking who will be king of the hill each year. So advanced with the faux flame job on the front and sides. Shouldn't there be lightning bolts and sparks?
It was just so much fun to pull this off! One of the craziest projects we´ve ever done! Together with Ford Performance it was possible ;)
We make a great team 🫶🤝
Man and did yall ever perform!! Just incredible!! My mind is blown, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I, too, was holding my breath on that run! Absolutely marvelous, congratulations you all!!!🎉🎉
I drive a Ford Transit Connect for work everyday and this brought me so much joy. So awesome!
We love to hear it!
It was an absolute pleasure to announce this event, speak with Mark Rushbrook, and watch Romain tackle the mountain. What an achievement!
Well done Romain Dumas! An onboard cam of the full climb would have said so much than any word to me.
To use a van and come within 7 seconds of the overall time is truly phenomenal
Apart from the fact that it's anything but a van, even the chassis itself is custom. It's mostly aero ...and marketing
either way they are limiting themselves with that shape and it is pretty cool
most of pike's peak winner cars had a van or truck shell like the suzuki escudo
Give him two more runs and we will see the difference. His first run up with that vehicle and only 7 seconds off. Also some vehicle adjustments.
@gibbethoskins8621 LOL, most vehicles used in the race are a tiny percentage of a production car so your talking jive.
Ford's commitment to send a panel van off the side of a mountain at 120mph will never cease to amaze me.
Except the one they raced looks nothing like the van
@@JamesRockefeller45 it's a custom build made to look like a van?
My current favorite hypercar. Been watching this thing for a while.
Honestly, an electric passenger van is an untapped market. This was pretty badass and that wrap was wild as the car.
Congrats! What an achievement, and can't wait to see what Ford Performance does next! 👏
That makes two of us 🤐😏
New focus rs would be better. Only people who care about vans are trades, and let's be honest, not many tools are getting squeezed in that van.
For everyone's information, behind Michael the English guy, is Ford UKs Heritage Collection. Its recently moved from Essex to Coventry in England. A few friends from the Northern Ireland RS Owners Club visited it over the summer, and the collection is mind blowing 😎👌
Daventry rather than Coventry but totally agree with you.
If the SuperVan did a collab with 1 day Amazon delivery that would be absolutely insane
american attention spans and willingness to wait would cease to exists afterwards
@@kiim0 American attention span? Whats dat? I've already forgotte--wait what was I here for again? Please remind me!
I am so impressed. I'm a thrasher. Been one since 1979. Nice work you bunch of stupendously awesome Fordies. Way to go. Totally amazing teamwork and vision. Ford has this country's best engineers. No doubt.
Fantastic video, very well put together!
Carol Shelby would have been impressed with this incredible performance.
EXCELLENT WORK FORD!!!!!!
I'm a long time pikes fan and remember when Rod Millen ran a 10 minute time in in a Toyota pickup truck. Because of this and his knowledge of the pikes peak, I would have begged him to drive for me.
That said, clearly this guy knows what he is doing.
Thanks for coming!
Wow great work. Super proud of the race team)))
Very Good Work! I also like the allusions to video games like: 5:50 7:54 15:10 15:14
Immediately Ken Block comes to mind upon watching this. Thinking if he would be with us he would have made a remarkable attempt at smashing the mountain in the pink pig Porsche. I love pikes peak soo epic
Lia did Ken proud in the hoonipig ... Lucy ran Pikes too the same day.
Wow great work. Super proud of the race team ,testers, drivers and production team excellent video.
Very cool video, editing is great too!
Super impressed, can’t wait to see what you do for an encore!
Incredible!
Not being a Ford man myself, But I have to give it to you all WELL DONE 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍
The crickets and "Is it?" at 5:36 made me laugh! Great video and congrats FP!
Awesome! Great work guys…
15:12 Good job to the editing team for inserting a Turkey Vulture that makes a Red-tailed Hawk call!
Wow! That was absolutely incredible, congrats!
That was pretty cool. Is there a video of the full run from in-car online?
This is a perfect "function over form" car. The most polite word I can think of to describe they way it looks is...awkward, but it's a rocket. I am a long time Vette person and I am trying not to fall in love with electric cars but the truth is, my Vette wouldn't go that fast is I pushed it out of a helicopter. LOL
That thing was so cool to watch. At the practice days just watching the launch was amazing.
This was a great watch... Unbelievable engineering.. achieved the impossible. Well done to everyone involved and especially the man with the balls of steel to drive that van up the mountain
Can't wait to see this in forza. You needed the only man for the van, Guy Martin
really good work! I was able to admire the SuperVan 4.2 live on its test day near Pachfurth (A1 Speedworld) Lower Austria. it was a great day
I luv the way the video is more of a documentary
Great video. Congrats to all. To paraphrase their feeling about coming in second; I'm not disappointed in the video but it would have been better in 4K with more in car footage.
im sure every dad is teary eyed after watching this, not to mention the goose bumps and the urge for a family trip...
I'm waiting for the Hotwheels, amazing SuperVan 👍👍👍👍👍
Not a SuperVan at all... that's a HYPERVAN!!!! Good job Ford! Can't wait to see what you have next! Maybe a Ford Performance inverter for the Mach E Eluminator motor😉
This was cool and well done.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sincerely a life long anti Ford Mopar fan lol!
Best of luck and safe racing.
I'm not an electric vehicle fan but I am a Ford man. Supervan 4.2 is simply gorgeous
Love to see these kinds of projects from Ford! Great job by all! If I could offer a suggestion/criticism of the video itself. I would have liked to have seen the whole run from several of the onboards somewhere in here. All the cuts and canned sounds kind of broke the feeling for me. Not taking anything away from the achievement, just my opinion on the video itself. 🙂👍🏁
AWESOME...and onto the next adventure project - can't wait to see what that is!
Get her back and smash that record!!!!
Joey Logano is hilarious in this video! “Super…What?!”
Joey = 🤯
What about bringing the SuperVan to an European HillClimb?? We provide the venue 😉
We did reveal it at Goodwood!!
@@jayward1848 As good of a Festival as it is, Goodwood is far from a proper European HillClimb ;)
Just the looks of the van is amazing
Amazing how that came out. Genius
That was awesome. Want to see the mcmurtry fan car take on pike's peak next.
I've been looking at buying a new Van. A SuperVan4 would fit me juuuuust fine. :D
The sound is amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I can hear Ken Block asking the Ford Reps, “Can I Hoon It?” 😂😂
For those who don’t know, he asked that of the reps of the Mach E when it was introduced to him.
Lol I saw that video it had me dying 😂😂😂
I still can't believe that you had the best rally stage on the entire planet and covered it with tarmac.
"156 turns. That's a lot." *laughs in 6 laps of Isle of Man TT*

Nothing like a joke about insurance in one of the most dificult races in the world. Good take on that!
I'm a Ford fan from way back. It's interesting to see FP expanding out to develop 200 mph+ vacuum cleaners...
See the Henry Ford and Edison ev prototype back at the 1915 world's fair. Or the Ford cobra jet E-1800 7s ev mustang. 👍🏻😎

I drove electric go karts once and was like EH, take me to the ones that rumble. Good luck having a race with EVs!
GREAT JOB FORD!!!!
Always great to hear Kyle Heyer on the call
When they first released the windstar van any minivan and almost car outruns in the Nevada to california to tahoe is this the comeback of ford minivan jeezz I'm excited
Electric is perfect for Pikes, no loss of power due to altitude and you only need enough battery for a 12.5 mile run.
fascinating video. Awesome to watch
Enjoyed From The Caribbean 🇻🇨🙌
This is so fun to watch
Gotta love a transit in any form….. 🇬🇧
nice van with monster inside, good job ford
maravillosa maquina ! mis saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina💪Ford Raza fuerte!💪
Awesome!!!!!!
13:21 Kyle Heyer in his natural habitat, on the mic 😁
That van is wicked.
Well done!!
That thing is insane nowFord just needs to make an awesome van for the road I bet you money people would buy it I would
Can you buy this van in the US?
Wow thats fantastic ,go ford ,keep Going with your great projects from NZ :)
AAAAWWWWEEEEESSSSSOOOOOMMMEE ‼️‼️‼️‼️MOOOOORE POOOOOOOWER‼️‼️‼️ Yeeaaahhhh ‼️👍😎👍
Came in expecting a full run video, but this is a fun watch, still!
BTW, Pikes Peak organization needs to figure out a way to amplify the natural sound of the motors! Ford knows the silly sirens are no good.
Well done
Make it a hybrid instead of all electric. Like the corvette e ray and I'm into it.
WOOOWWW 😂❤
4 Eiffel towers, the weight of a horse!?
Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system 🙄
They even have horse power
Can't wait to see Version 5
That is the most mental van i've ever seen.
We’ll take that as a compliment 😎
Great run!
"what obscure ideas are they gonna come up with now" BATHURST. It's another mountain to conquer, send the steely eyed frenchman up that one.
Where do i get a multimatic gt3 FP hoodie?!?!
Doughnuts in a van?
Yes please 😁
Total adrenaline. Congrats.
Epic location.
GO FORD!!!!!!!!
This video is awesome
Awesome team and ford😊
That van is crazy fast ⏩
Great video Ford.

Why didn't you use the Ford mustang Ev current instead of the Van

Awsome, now make the model kit please😊
