Rhys Millen vs. Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak, home of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. A contest of driver skill, manufacturer engineering, and raw power all mix into the pot as a car is sent hurtling up the mountain in a fight against a loose surface and the ever persistent pull of gravity. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Tim.
In case you were wondering, this isn’t a specifically prepared car for the hill climb. In fact, it appears to be the car that Rhys Millen uses for drift competitions, powered by the turbocharged V6 powerplant.

“This is the first time Millen is making the run in his new Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and he’s evidently driving the same car he has been using in Formula D drift events all year long – complete with the Hyundai V6 powerplant. In fact, the car was trucked to Colorado directly from last weekend’s drift event in Las Vegas.”
