Rhys Millen will attempt to beat the current “Unlimited Class” World Record of 10:01.408 & the 10-minute barrier at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Last June, Rhys took a Hyundai Genesis coupe to a class record in the two-wheel drive Time Attack class with a 12:09.397. This year, Millen wants to take the overall record back from Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, whose held the record since 2007, and bested Rod Millen’s thirteen year old course record. Millen is aiming to get the first ever sub-10 minute time at Pikes Peak and he and his team have built a new car dubbed the Genesis PM580, a 1850 pound, 750 horse power V6 beast is designed specifically to conquer the 156 turns to the top and return the world record to the Millen name.

@monserenergy700r Oh, you’re right.
That’s pretty sick. :0
@TranceFur pause it at 0:52. you can see the front diff, its awd
A grasscutter?
batman ride
i want that car
@huffster777 yes awd
“Oh I told you not to put the Le Mans car in the washing machine. Now look what you’ve done.”
anyone know how long its supposed to be, before they pave the rest of pikes peak?
Just needs to be wider and damn it fast without spinning
ALE SZAJS
the red bull x1 prototype is not far from this.. i hope to see it some time in real
@huffster777 Nah, it’s two wheel drive.
:34 they spelled his name wrong aha
4 wheel drive?
adrian woulda shit over this project
Should have got Adrian Newey design it.
@0jesse10397 Hyundai, not Nissan. But it is a V6.
he stole the bat car -_-
@burn504 i think the same nissan V6 that the genesis has
One thing that I was kept thinking:
Don’t leave that thing out in the sun.
1:47 THAT THING RUNS ON RED BULL! HELL YEA!!!
so which Hyundai V6 block did they use?
Bummer the car didn’t work out. Looked great on the course, though a little nervous. With Monster Tajima not beating his time the record- and the sub 10min time- still stands. Another mile of asphalt at the top for 2011…. there’s no way the record will stand. But it will be great to see who holds it at the end of it all.
its like a batman car but better !:P
they are using those little aerodynamic strips! just like in the old days.
i havent seen them used since Mickey Thompson’s era
