Really really can't wait to see the footage from when this goes down... I can definitely see Marcus Grönholm dropping under a 10 minute pass at the ultimate rally track!!!

That looks awesome rob i would love a drive in that!!

same engine as the focus rs just slightly more tuned lol

go the ford!!

800HP out of a 2.0ltr, wow, must be scary to drive.

just from the main pic looks like an interesting AWD setup too being so wide at the rear :D

I've driven pike's peak on colin mcrae rally and it ain't in any description easy and there is so much that can go wrong... would love to see in car of this thing doing the climb!!!

DO WANT!!!

Sweet! Should be some nice footage of that for all us fans.

How long did the Escudo take to do it then? Gonna hunt around Google for it now.
EDIT, from Wiki: 2007: The overall fastest time on the mountain was achieved by Nobuhiro Tajima at 10:01.408. He was in a Suzuki XL7 Hill Climb Special while racing the Unlimited category. He beat the previous record set by Rod Millen set 13 years before in 1994 of 10:04.06. However, Tajima's record was set after the Pikes Peak surface was paved whereas Millen's record was on dirt

Is it gt2 with the suzuki escudo thing 1000bhp....


if so yeah is a hard track on a game let alone in real life lol

Brett and I have driven it in real life in a C6 'Vette *nod nod nod* - even at our relatively slow pace (compared to racers) you understand how dangerous it is.

Everyone needs to watch 'Climb Dance'....do it....do it now!!

This is awesome. Cant wait to see how Marcus does.
