Along with carbon-ceramic front rotors, the SuperVan 4.2 features forged wheels with Pirelli P Zero race tires. It also has enhanced driveshafts, a plexiglass windshield, and a stripped-out interior with a roll cage and a single racing seat.The Ford SuperVan 4.2 will be driven by Romain Dumas, who has previously participated in the annual event seven times. The 101st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will be held this Sunday, June 25.
