Suzuki XL7 rules at Pikes Peak
The President of Suzuki Sport, Nuboshiro Tajima (Monster) has won the 85th anniversary run of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 10 minutes and 1 second, breaking the previously record, held by Australian Rod Millen, driving a Toyota, 13 years ago. Nabuhiro ran the 1st section in 1’42”197, the 2nd section to Glen Cove in 4’29”191, the 3d section to 16 mile point in 7’3”408, then the last section to the finish line in 10’1”408. This record will be included in the Guinness Book of Record, the 2007 edition.
The Suzuki Sport XL7 Hill Climb Special based has 3.6 liters, V6 engine which knocks out 993 bhp and 738 lb/ft of torque, with the aid of twin turbo chargers. It seems that “Monster” wants to break the 10 minutes barrier in 2008, so we have to wish him “Good Luck!”.
