The Radford Pikes Peak Edition is a highly anticipated dedicated race car that is ready to conquer the challenging terrain of Colorado's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. With renowned rally driver Tanner Foust behind the wheel, this beast is sure to make a statement and turn heads.
Designed by British coachbuilder Radford and racing outfit Prodrive, the Pikes Peak Edition is a highly specialized racing machine. It boasts a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and body, which keeps the car incredibly lightweight and provides impressive strength and rigidity.
Under the hood, the Pikes Peak Edition packs a potent powertrain consisting of an electric motor and a Wankel rotary engine. The combination of these two power sources is expected to produce a staggering 670 horsepower, giving the car an impressive power-to-weight ratio.
But it's not just the powertrain that makes the Pikes Peak Edition special. The car also features cutting-edge aerodynamics, including a large rear wing and a diffuser, which generate massive amounts of downforce to keep the car planted to the ground. The car's suspension has also been specially designed to cope with the bumps and undulations of the Pikes Peak course, providing maximum grip and stability.
Tanner Foust, a highly respected rally driver with multiple championship titles to his name, is the perfect driver to take on the Pikes Peak course in the Radford Pikes Peak Edition. Known for his fearless driving style and precise car control, Foust is sure to push the car to its limits and extract the maximum performance from the machine.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is one of the most challenging and prestigious races in the world, with competitors from around the globe coming to test their skills and machines against the mountain.

Aston Martin’s new Vantage GT3 continues its hunt for glory in the world’s two most prestigious endurance racing series, as the FIA World Endurance Championship [WEC] and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship [IMSA] resume this weekend.
The WEC begins its European leg on Sunday with the 6 Hours of Imola (ITA), and an inaugural visit to one of the continent’s best-known circuits, before heading to Spa-Francorchamps (BEL) on 11 May, and then the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15-16 June. Meanwhile IMSA heads to the world famous Long Beach street track for its first sprint race (100 minutes) of the season. A second-place finish in the brand-new LMGT3 class for the Heart of Racing (HoR), and third for D’station Racing, made Aston Martin the only one of the nine GT manufacturers present to score a WEC double podium finish at the season-opening 1812km of Qatar in March. It means both teams arrive in Italy in strong form.
