Ford’s 1,400-hp electric truck beats supercars at Goodwood hill race

At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ford's 1,400-horsepower electric F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, driven by racing veteran Romain Dumas, achieved a remarkable victory by winning the Timed Shoot-Out hillclimb in 43.22 seconds. This performance marked the truck’s second consecutive Timed Shootout title and placed it as the fourth-fastest vehicle in Goodwood history, narrowly missing the all-time record of 39.08 seconds. Unlike the standard F-150 Lightning, this prototype features three electric motors delivering immense power and a sophisticated aerodynamic design generating 6,000 pounds of downforce at 150 mph, enabling exceptional grip and handling on the challenging 1.16-mile Goodwood course. The SuperTruck's success at Goodwood followed its strong showing at the 2024 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, underscoring Ford’s commitment to pushing the limits of electric vehicle performance.
