Details and photos have emerged about RMR's Hyundai Genesis PM580 race car.
Built by Rhys Millen Racing (RMR), the PM580 will compete in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 27th. Looking like a Le Mans prototype, it features a tubular frame chassis, a carbon fiber body, and a Brembo braking system.
Power is provided by a turbocharged 4.1-liter V6 engine with up to 750 hp (559 kW / 760 PS). Connected to a Weismann semi-automatic AWD transmission, power is channeled to the ground via an active center differential. It allows for a "10-100 percent torque split to the front wheels" which is important "because the course changes from asphalt to dirt multiple times."
If everything goes according to plan, Rhys Millen will complete the 12.42 mile (20 km) course in less than 10 minutes.
