Pike's Peak

At 800hp, this 2L Ford Fiesta is a bit of a promo stunt by Ford as it gears up to bring the Fiesta back to the states. The Fiesta will be Ford Motor Company's main competition vehicle for rallying in the coming years, though. The highly modified Fiesta will feature an all-wheel-drive system and custom suspension with other modifications that have not been revealed.

There will be two Fiestas competing July 19th at Pike's Peak. They will be driven by Andreas Eriksson and rally legend Marcus Grönholm in the 'Unlimited Class' at Pike's Peak, in an attempt to be the first team to break the 10-minute mark over the 12.4-mile, 156-turn pavement and gravel course.

I can't wait to see this take place! You can grab the full press release here.
