Last year, Porsche introduced the 911 SVSR Hoonipigasus, the car driven by Ken Block at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race that year. The professional rally driver was not successful in the race, and at the beginning of this year he tragically died in an accident while driving a snowmobile.
This year, the Porsche 911 SVSR Hoonipigasus will once again participate in the Pikes Peak race, and this time Ken Block’s daughter, Lia Block, will be behind the wheel. She is a big fan of rally racing, but because of her age, she is currently too young to start a career.
It should also be noted that the car was not made in Zuffenhausen and is reminiscent of the 1971 Porsche 910/20 “Pink Pig”. It is equipped with an adjustable suspension that uses GPS coordinates based on Pikes Peak telemetry from 2021. The 1,000 kg car is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 1,400 hp (1,030 kW), just like the Ford Mustang RTR V2. Power is sent to all wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is an extremely demanding 20-kilometer race consisting of 156 turns. The start of the race is at 1,440 and the finish at 4,300 meters above sea level.
