Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026: Ford Super Mustang Mach-E EV Demonstrator Records a 41.98-Second Run!

The Ford Super Mustang Mach-E EV Demonstrator is equipped with KW Racing dampers

From conquering the summit at the 2026 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to setting the benchmark at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed Hill Climb – Ford and Ford Racing claimed victory with their electric race cars for the third consecutive year. Behind the wheel every time: Romain Dumas.

In the wind tunnel, the aerodynamics of the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E EV Demonstrator generated approximately 12,000 lbs (5.4 tons) of downforce
The amount of downforce is simply staggering. In its road-course configuration and at a speed of 200 mph (322 km/h), the aerodynamic package generated around 12,000 lbs (5.4 tons) of downforce in the wind tunnel.

During Sunday’s final Shootout on July 12, 2026, Romain Dumas laid down a blistering 41.98-second run in the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E EV Demonstrator on the famous Goodwood hill climb course.

Romain Dumas has now won the Goodwood Festival of Speed Shootout a total of five times. Like the Lightning SuperTruck and the various evolutions of the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan Concept, including the Ford SuperVan 4.2, the Mach-E EV Demonstrator was developed jointly by Ford and STARD (Stohl Advanced Research and Development).

A total of six KW Racing dampers are used on the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E EV Demonstrator

Following victories in 2024 with the Ford SuperVan 4.2 (43.98 seconds) and in 2025 with the Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck (43.22 seconds), this marks the third consecutive year that Romain Dumas and Ford have won the hill climb in England. Providing the suspension performance every time: our KW Racing dampers.

While the outer KW dampers control individual wheel and body roll movements, the central damper manages pitch during braking and acceleration
