Description

Driving his modified 2011 Monster Sport (Suzuki) SX4 Hill Climb Special, Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima will pursue his sixth consecutive overall win and a shot at breaking the elusive 10-minute barrier at the 89th Annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Sunday, June 26. Team Monster Sport will compete in the Únlimited class, and will be hosted by McCloskey Suzuki of Colorado Springs during the two weeks of race preparations.

Monster Tajima first challenged Pikes Peak, North America's second oldest motorsports event, in 1988. His first win in the Únlimited division took place in 1993, followed by his second overall title in 1995. Fast forward to 2006, and his overall win that year primed the pump for a record-breaking run of 10 minutes and 1.41 seconds in 2007.

Monster will again be defending his title against several worthy competitors, the most formidable being Rhys 'We Fear No Monster' Millen, who will drive an aggressively modified Hyundai Genesis. Millen placed third in the race last year.

In the world-famous climb to the clouds, it's all about power and piloting prowess. To that, may the best man (or monster) win.

2011 Monster Sport SX4 Hill Climb Special
Based on a Low drag and High down force concept developed for the Pikes Peak race and following exhaustive tests in the Monster Sport wind tunnel facility, the Monster Sport SX4 Hill Climb Special has undergone extensive aerodynamic changes to adapt better to the modified road surface, which now consists of more smooth tarmac and less gravel than was present during last year's race. The car is powered by a 3100cc Twin Turbo Monster Special V6 powerplant, boasting an impressive 910 horsepower.

Cool Model, maybe the car could be more dirty, as there is dust everywhere and the car is bright white ;-)
