The Goodwood Festival of Speed once again brought together an astonishing collection of the world's most exclusive, fastest, and jaw-droppingly expensive cars this past weekend. From cutting-edge hypercars to champion race machines, it was a truly spectacular showcase of performance.

But in a surprising twist, the fastest run up the famous hill wasn't achieved by a Le Mans prototype or some multi-million-dollar exotic. Instead, an all-electric pickup truck stole the show—though this was no ordinary battery-powered workhorse.

The vehicle making headlines is Ford's incredible F-150 Lightning SuperTruck. It debuted in mid-2024, quickly dominating the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Just last weekend, veteran race car driver Romain Dumas got behind the wheel to tackle the Goodwood Hillclimb. He'd previously piloted the Ford SuperVan 4.2 to victory last year, setting a scorching time of 43.98 seconds.

The Ford SuperTruck proved even quicker. On his final run of the weekend, Dumas clocked an astonishing 43.23 seconds, easily beating the best time set by Scott Speed in Subaru's special 670 hp WRX Project Midnight, which took 45.03 seconds to conquer the climb.

Despite sharing the F-150 Lightning name, this SuperTruck has very little in common with its production counterpart. Three electric motors unleash over 1,600 horsepower. Plus, it's adorned with aggressive aerodynamic bodywork designed to generate a massive 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) of downforce at 150 mph (240 km/h).
