EVs continue to dominate Pikes Peak, with Hyundai even setting a record this year with a modified Ioniq 5 N.
Competing in the exhibition class, Hyundai World Rally driver Dani Sordo piloted a Ioniq 5 N time-attack special known as the TA Spec version to the finish line in a time of 9:30.852. That's a record for a modified electric SUV or crossover, and it also resulted in Sordo taking home a class win.Peak power in the TA Spec registers at 677 hp, up from the stock rating of 641 hp.
Other modifications include a high-downforce package designed for the thinner air near the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak, as well as uprated dampers and brakes, and a set of Yokohama ADVAN 005 slick tires. The Ioniq 5 N's sound generator was also upgraded to blast a sound of more than 120 db, to both enhance feedback for the driver as well as avoid the use of warning sirens quieter EVs have to carry in the event, Hyundai said.
Unlike their internal-combustion counterparts, EVs are unaffected by the thin air experienced near the summit of Pikes Peak. However, the rapid climbing requires a lot of energy to be delivered in a short period, which can result in batteries overheating.time-attack special ran a 7:57.148 back in 2018.
The outright winner at this year's Hill Climb was made by Romain Dumas behind the wheel of the 1,600-hp time-attack special. He set a time of 8:53.533, which was impressive considering the electric truck came to a stop during the run and needed to be restarted. Dumas was also the driver of the ID.R during its record run.
