The Supervan 4.2 is loosely based on Ford’s E-Transit Custom, which is sold mainly to the European market. That’s not to be confused with the E-Transit that’s available in the United States, which is a much larger Sprinter-style van. In any case, don’t expect to load any furniture or construction material in the Supervan. Although it looks something like a conventional van from the side profile, what would normally be the cargo area is completely open to the elements.
When the time comes to slow down, Supervan 4.2 has a newly revised regenerative braking system with carbon-ceramic discs, and a set of super light magnesium wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires keep the suspension firmly planted.
This year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb marks the 101st running of the timed event, which began in 1916 (the hill climb wasn’t held during World Wars I or II). Ford has a long history of participation, dating back to running its Model T in the 1916 inaugural event. Motorsports legend Romain Dumas has been tapped to pilot the Supervan 4.2 to a finish line elevated 14,115 feet above sea level.
