What makes the Ford Performance F-150 Lightning Super Truck so super?
00:04
Is it because you can get super jacked between races?
00:06
Not exactly.
00:07
This carbon fiber wing might look like a movie prop,
00:10
but it's strong enough to generate up to 10,000 pounds of downforce
00:13
with the rest of the aerodynamic elements like the triple element front wing.
00:17
To create that kind of force,
00:19
Ford designed the Super Truck with a three-motor electric powertrain,
00:22
and when conditions allow for maximum output,
00:24
a fourth motor can be added to give the Super Truck a maximum output of 2,100 horsepower.
00:29
How many tries did it take to get the Super Truck race ready?
00:32
Just one, and not a single prototype was made.
00:34
It was commissioned, designed, built, and tested in less than a year
00:38
by using virtual tools like this state-of-the-art simulator.
00:41
But instead of running off the side of a cliff like we did,
00:44
Pikes Peak veteran Romain Dumas helped engineers tweak the setup
00:47
enough to beat 61 other competitors in the 102nd running
00:51
of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
00:53
To find out more about the unique development and technology behind the Super Truck,
