Ford's F-150 Lightning-Based Supertruck To Climb Pikes Peak Over Weekend, Keeping Up With Model T Legacy
Ford Motor Co's (NYSE:F) electric supertruck, based on its F-150 Lightning, is gearing up to take part in the 102nd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb presented by Gran Turismo over the weekend.
福特汽車公司（NYSE：F）的電動超級皮卡，基於其F-150閃電，正在準備參加由Gran Turismo贊助的第102屆派克峯國際爬坡大賽。
What Happened: By running the test supertruck on a 12.5-mile uphill excursion, Ford aims to test the boundaries of its EV powertrains. The learning will then be adapted to the company's production vehicles, it said.
通過進行一次12.5英里的上坡試驗，福特旨在測試其電動動力總成的極限，並將所學到的內容應用於該公司的生產車輛。
The truck, resplendent in shades of blue, red, and white and with Romain Dumas behind the wheels, will climb the hill on June 23.
這款卡車呈現出藍色、紅色和白色等色調，由羅曼·迪馬斯駕駛，將於6月23日攀登這座山丘。
"In testing, the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck has surpassed my expectations, so we are hoping for some good weather to try and do something very special," Dumas said about the truck.
“在測試中，F-150閃電超級卡車超出了我的預期，所以我們希望有好天氣來嘗試做些非常特別的事情，”迪馬斯談到了這款卡車。

Vehicle Enhancements: The truck was designed by Ford Design together with STARD Advanced Research and Development with design changes aimed at advancing aerodynamics, Ultra-High Performance Li-Polymer NMC cells, carbon ceramic brakes, and Pirelli P-Zero tires on magnesium forged wheels among other enhancements.
該卡車由福特設計公司與愛文思控股先進研發部門共同設計，旨在提高空氣動力學、採用超高性能鋰聚合物NMC電池、碳陶瓷剎車以及磁性鍛造輪等方面進行設計優化。
The vehicle can generate 6,000 pounds of downforce at 150 mph and 1,400 plus horsepower output, a whopping advancement from the 580 hp available on the Lightning.
該車在150英里/小時的時速下可以產生6000磅的下壓力，並且輸出功率超過1400馬力，這一驚人的進步從閃電可獲得580馬力開始。
EVs To The Summit: This is the second consecutive year that Ford is taking an electric test vehicle to the competition at Pikes Peak, also known as The Race to the Clouds. Last year, Ford took a super van based on its E-Transit Custom van.
這是福特第二年將電動測試車輛帶到派克峯比賽，也被稱爲雲端之賽。去年，福特帶來了一輛基於其E-Transit定製貨車的超級麪包車。
Ford's popular Model T claimed Pikes Peak in 1916, completing the climb to the 14,115 ft summit in 28 minutes 03 seconds. Ford brought this time to 8 minutes and 47.682 seconds with SuperVan 4.2 last year.
福特的主流幣T型車在1916年贏得了Pikes峯的冠軍，耗時28分03秒登上了14115英尺的山頂。去年，福特以SuperVan 4.2用時8分47.682秒。
Why It Matters: The F-150 Lightning is the second best-selling EV from Ford in 2024 as of the end of May.
截至2024年5月底，F-150閃電是福特第二暢銷的電動汽車，共售出13093輛。
The company sold 13,093 Lightnings in the first five months of 2024, marking a 78.5% jump from the corresponding period last year. The position of Ford's best-selling vehicle, however, is occupied by its Mustang Mach-E SUV of which the company sold 18,737 units.
不過，福特最暢銷的車型是其野馬Mach-E SUV，該公司在今年前五個月售出了18737輛車。
