Millen drives race-prepped 700-horsepower turbocharged Hyundai Genesis coupe to a new world record; claims overall victory at the hillclimb.
Rhys Millen claimed yet another world record and overall victory at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on yesterday. Millen broke the 10-minute barrier, setting a blazing pace to the summit in his hillclimb-prepared Hyundai Genesis Coupe racecar. He needed only 9:46.164 minutes to make international motorsports' most challenging ascent at over 14,000 feet. For 2012, Millen's own race team, Rhys Millen Racing (RMR), made additional performance enhancements to the current world-record-setting Genesis Coupe, the very same car that set the Time Attack 2WD record last year with Rhys' father, Rod Millen, at the wheel.
