, the Radford Pikes Peak Special weighs just 1942 pounds and gets power from a 700-hp version of the supercharged Toyota 3.5-liter V-6 that's powered a number of Lotus cars for years now. The engine mates with a paddle-shift sequential transmission, andsays it'll run from 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds. The cooling system is also revised to better deal with the huge altitude of Pikes Peak, and the brakes are carbon-ceramics supplied by AP Racing.
Tanner Foust, a fixture at Pikes Peak, will drive the Radford. His last Pikes Peak appearance was in 2021, where he won his class driving a Porsche Cayman GT4."We're going to be in an exhibition class which will have a lot of quick cars in it," he told."Rhys Millen will be driving in this class and he's won overall. There are some big manufacturer-supported cars too, and it's a kind of catch-all class that gets a lot of fast cars.
