Ford is heading to Colorado at the weekend for the Race to the Clouds, and will be trying to beat last year's record time set by its electric SuperVan. This time driver Romain Dumas will be behind the wheel of a souped-up F150 Lightning SuperTruck.

About a year ago, Ford revived the Supervan with an absolutely audacious 2,000-hp quad-motor electric bullet of a Supervan 4. It's now reworked the van into a 1,400-hp ultra-aero 2.0 version aimed directly at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
