Ford’s outrageous 1,419-horsepower F-150 Lightning SuperTruck has claimed its second straight Goodwood Festival of Speed Shootout victory—proving once again that electric power and pure madness can dominate the hill.
A SuperTruck Built to Stun
This isn’t Ford’s first rodeo with outrageous performance EVs. The F-150 Lightning SuperTruck has already carved a name for itself with record-breaking performances at Pikes Peak and jaw-dropping appearances in past Goodwood events.
Dumas, no stranger to pushing boundaries in machines like the SuperVan, was once again the perfect driver to unleash the SuperTruck’s fury on the famous hill climb.
While the McMurtry Speirling still holds the all-time Goodwood record with a sub-40-second run, Ford's time was well clear of the rest of the field.
Coming in second was Scott Speed in Subaru’s radical Project Midnight, clocking a 45.03—nearly two seconds slower than the Ford juggernaut.
Electric, Enormous, and Shockingly Agile
Watching the SuperTruck charge up the hill is a surreal experience. Onlookers—and even livestream viewers—were left slack-jawed as the hulking electric pickup took corners with almost reckless confidence.
At over 1,400 hp, it’s not just fast—it’s brutally, absurdly quick, especially considering its size and roots as a commercial vehicle.
To put this into perspective:
- A 2011 Holden Commodore V8 Supercar managed 48.35 seconds with Jake Hill, the current BTCC champ, behind the wheel.
- A Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, driven by James Wallis, could only muster a 46.74-second run.
These aren’t slow cars. Yet Ford’s EV pickup left them behind like they were parked.
Subaru’s Dirt-Track Drama
Scott Speed gave it everything in the ultra-aggressive Project Midnight. His drive was a mix of tarmac precision and rallycross bravado, flinging dirt and dust as he sliced through the Duke of Richmond’s estate like it was a WRC stage.
Despite shaving off nearly half a second from his previous day’s effort, he couldn’t reel in the Frenchman’s flying Ford.
From Festival to Full-Throttle Madness
If you caught the livestream or watched the replays, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was a European hill climb event. The SuperTruck’s run—kicking up hay, smoke, and disbelief—looked like something straight out of a high-octane motorsport highlight reel.
There’s nothing subtle about this truck, and that’s the whole point. It’s a rolling statement of what’s possible when EV technology meets race-ready engineering and a healthy dose of insanity.
Looking Ahead: The Hat Trick in Sight?
With two straight wins at Goodwood, Ford and Dumas are now gunning for a three-peat in 2026. Given how dominant the SuperTruck has been, don’t be surprised if it happens.
Final Thoughts
Ford’s F-150 Lightning SuperTruck isn’t just a showcase of EV performance—it’s a full-on celebration of electric absurdity.
While the future of motorsport may be quieter, it’s certainly not getting any slower. Whether you’re a die-hard petrolhead or a curious EV convert, this is the kind of performance that demands attention.
