Story

The Silent Avalanche Protocol transforms the unassuming 1980 Ford Fairmont into an electric-powered hill climb prototype, pushing the boundaries of endurance racing engineering. Its full carbon monocoque chassis integrates a rear mid-engine layout with dual electric motors, dramatically shifting the wheelbase rearward to optimize weight distribution and handling. The widened track and aggressive stance accommodate 315-section tires, delivering immense mechanical grip on alpine tarmac.

Body modifications sculpt airflow around the car’s thermal management systems, with expansive sidepods and a long-tail rear that houses active aero elements including a triple-element wing towering 900mm above the decklid. Satin matte ice blue paint with chameleon pearl flakes contrasts exposed carbon fiber panels, emphasizing the build’s technical precision and stealthy presence on mist-shrouded hill climb courses.
