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!!!🎉🎉
It was an absolute pleasure to announce this event, speak with Mark Rushbrook, and watch Romain tackle the mountain. What an achievement!
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.
Well done Romain Dumas! An onboard cam of the full climb would have said so much than any word to me.
I drive a Ford Transit Connect for work everyday and this brought me so much joy. So awesome!
We love to hear it!
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.
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.
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
Honestly, an electric passenger van is an untapped market. This was pretty badass and that wrap was wild as the car.
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!
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.
Thanks for coming!
That thing was so cool to watch. At the practice days just watching the launch was amazing.
The crickets and "Is it?" at 5:36 made me laugh! Great video and congrats FP!
Wow great work. Super proud of the race team ,testers, drivers and production team excellent video.
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.
Very Good Work! I also like the allusions to video games like: 5:50 7:54 15:10 15:14
I luv the way the video is more of a documentary
Super impressed, can’t wait to see what you do for an encore!
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.
15:12 Good job to the editing team for inserting a Turkey Vulture that makes a Red-tailed Hawk call!
Incredible!
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
Wow great work. Super proud of the race team)))
Wow! That was absolutely incredible, congrats!
Very cool video, editing is great too!
Can't wait to see this in forza. You needed the only man for the van, Guy Martin
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
Carol Shelby would have been impressed with this incredible performance.
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
AWESOME...and onto the next adventure project - can't wait to see what that is!
Awesome! Great work guys…
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*
im sure every dad is teary eyed after watching this, not to mention the goose bumps and the urge for a family trip...
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😉
I'm waiting for the Hotwheels, amazing SuperVan 👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing how that came out. Genius
This was cool and well done.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sincerely a life long anti Ford Mopar fan lol!
Best of luck and safe racing.
Just the looks of the van is amazing
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. 🙂👍🏁
Joey Logano is hilarious in this video! “Super…What?!”
Joey = 🤯
fascinating video. Awesome to watch
maravillosa maquina ! mis saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina💪Ford Raza fuerte!💪
The sound is amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
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.
This is so fun to watch
Enjoyed From The Caribbean 🇻🇨🙌
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
Great run!
GREAT JOB FORD!!!!
Great video 💪🏻
Wow thats fantastic ,go ford ,keep Going with your great projects from NZ :)
That was pretty cool. Is there a video of the full run from in-car online?
Awesome!!!!!!
That was awesome. Want to see the mcmurtry fan car take on pike's peak next.
喜歡這部影片✨
Well done!!
Awesome team and ford😊
13:21 Kyle Heyer in his natural habitat, on the mic 😁
Get her back and smash that record!!!!
Epic location.
Amazing 👏
nice van with monster inside, good job ford
I'm not an electric vehicle fan but I am a Ford man. Supervan 4.2 is simply gorgeous
This video is awesome
I've been looking at buying a new Van. A SuperVan4 would fit me juuuuust fine. :D
Whoa 🤯
Well done
Doughnuts in a van?
Yes please 😁
Total adrenaline. Congrats.
That van is wicked.
Epic!!! 😈⚡️💪
Can't wait to see Version 5
Nothing like a joke about insurance in one of the most dificult races in the world. Good take on that!
Great video Ford.
Gotta love a transit in any form….. 🇬🇧
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
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 😂😂😂
That van is crazy fast ⏩
"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.
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.
I drove electric go karts once and was like EH, take me to the ones that rumble. Good luck having a race with EVs!
Love it
Awsome, now make the model kit please😊
Make it a hybrid instead of all electric. Like the corvette e ray and I'm into it.
Interesting idea
the aero on that thing is crazy though
GO FORD!!!!!!!!
Isle of Man TT is 37.73 miles with 219 turns 😊
WOOOWWW 😂❤
Wow nice video
I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm hoopin' & hollerin' 😂🎉❤😮🇺🇸🏁 racing improves the breed!
Great video just remember the Never Be Another Uncle Bobby
It's Colorado Springs commentor. I lived there for 3 years.
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 ;)
Now you guys need to make a SuperVan 4.3 Drift car
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.
They should make a production model of this and unofficially dub it the Soccer Mom Shelby LOL
That is the most mental van i've ever seen.
We’ll take that as a compliment 😎
