Hyundai and Rhys Millen Racing announce two-car entry for Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Hyundai has renewed the partnership with Rhys Millen Racing for the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb scheduled for June 30.

They will be using last year's Genesis Coupe-based racecar in the Time Attack 2WD class, a car which managed to establish a new record by reaching the 4.3 km (14,115 foot) summit in 9:46.164.

Aside from this vehicle, Hyundai will also introduce a new purpose-built unlimited class RWD racecar. The lightweight vehicle will have the silhouette of the Genesis Coupe and use lots of powertrain components from the firm's production-based Lambda engine family. The power unit will produce more than 900 hp (671 kW) and 800 lb-ft (1,083 Nm) of torque. Some of the production parts used are the cylinder heads, block, bearings and other accessories.
