Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak

Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima, driving his customized Cultus, entered the Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb every year between 1989 and 1994, winning the unlimited division in '92 and '93 and coming in 2nd place overall in '93. He entered again in '94, switching from his Cultus to an Escudo-based racer, and came in overall 1st place in 1995 with a twin-engine Escudo, which in '96 evolved into a twin-V6 engine model.

The engines are based on the same engine used in the top-of-the-line Escudo street car: a two 2.5-liter DOHC 6 valve model H25A V6. The two engines, rear-and mid-mounted to the alumunium space frame body, are supercharged with twin turbos and deliver an amazing 995 horse power at maximum output, with maximum torque of 688 lb-ft.

This engines are combined with a sequential 6-speed gearbox and -- naturally -- all wheel drive.

Double wishbone suspension and carbon disc brake are used for both the front and rear wheels, with 8-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston calipers in the rear.

This vehicle was specifically designed to win the Pikes Peak competition. Despite the Large body, features such as the aluminum space frame keep the weight down to a super-lightweight 1760 lbs, for a power-weight ratio of 1.77 lbs per hp -- making this a monster machine indeed.
