Radford & Tanner Foust Break Pikes Peak Hill Climb Class Record

In the 101st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the Radford Type 62-2 Pikes Peak Special Edition made history over the weekend. Led by experienced race car driver and previous Pikes Peak champion, Tanner Foust, the vehicle not only won the Exhibition Class but also achieved a sub-ten-minute time, a record previously untouched by Foust.

Radford’s triumph was supported by impressive engineering. The Type 62-2 Pikes Peak Edition featured a 710HP supercharged 3.5L V6 DOHC engine, capable of going from 0-60 mph in under 2.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 160 mph. The lightweight dry body, weighing only 1,898 pounds, was achieved through a full carbon composite monocoque. Additionally, the Radford race version included extensive modifications such as a new underbody design, subframes, suspension, wider body, and a new rear aero and diffuser to deliver outstanding performance on the challenging Pikes Peak terrain.

The Pikes Peak victory showcases Radford’s design and engineering capabilities for high-performance cars, combining power, speed, and cutting-edge technology. As the triumphant Type 62-2 Pikes Peak Edition prepares for its next challenge at the NASCAR Chicago Street Race on July 1-2, 2023, it carries the momentum and prestige of a remarkable success.

Rare 2020 Bimota Tesi H2 Supercharged Monster Is Looking For A Good Home

Are you looking for the perfect gift for that special someone (even if that special someone is you)? It doesn’t happen every day, but folks, there’s currently a 2020 Bimota Tesi H2 that’s located in southern California and is looking for a good home.  

For those unfamiliar, the Bimota Tesi H2 is the first product of the partnership between Kawasaki and Bimota. Historically, Bimota is an Italian chassis specialist that has made great use of engines supplied by other manufacturers, including Ducati in the past. As you may know (or even guess), the Tesi H2 uses the same supercharged engine that powers the Kawasaki Ninja H2—only, of course, now neatly nestled inside the latest iteration of Pierluigi Marconi’s hub-center steering design. 

According to Bimota, thanks to ram air, the supercharged 998cc engine makes 239 horsepower. It’s outfitted with plenty of other top-shelf componentry, including a numbered Arrow exhaust, unbelievably gorgeous exhaust headers that sound as good as they look, twin Öhlins TTX rear shocks, and of course gobs and gobs of carbon fiber, as far as the eye can see. The exhaust baffle is currently removed from the bike but will be included in the sale so it can be replaced if the new owner wants it.

Out of a run of 250 Tesi H2s produced, this is number six. It had a total of 1,438 miles on the clock when Iconic Motorbike Auctions first listed it for sale, but the listing notes that the total miles will likely go up as they do ride it on occasion.  

It’s currently located at the company’s Santa Monica headquarters in California, where it’s listed for sale as a Buy It Now bike with a nonrefundable deposit of $4,550 if you’re the person who ends up buying it. It comes with a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) form from Bimota Spirit in Raleigh, North Carolina. Iconic also advises that it is not eligible for registration in the state of California. The Buy It Now price is $65,000, and it comes complete with both the Bimota bike cover for this bike, as well as the owner’s manual.

Porsche Teases Mystery 911 For June 29 Debut

Porsche France has released a teaser for what could be a new variant or special edition of the 911. The mystery vehicle will make its debut on June 29, coinciding with the Le Mans Classic event. In the background of the teaser is the Porsche 356 SL, which was the winner in the 1,100 cc class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1951.

The team at Motor1.com reached out to Porsche for more information about this vehicle, but the US team didn’t have any additional details.

 

We have enhanced the image to get a clearer view of this 911. Based on what we can see, it appears to be a standard model. There is a “911” badge below the “Porsche” wordmark. The lower bumper is partially visible and seems to be the same as the current Carrera model. The paint color appears to be a very dark shade of gray or black.

Porsche 911 Teaser Brightened Cropped

Based on what we can see, it doesn’t seem like the vehicle in this teaser is the upcoming 911 ST. Spy shots (shown below) reveal that it has a completely different rear bumper design compared to the vehicle Porsche plans to reveal on June 29.

Porsche has a rich history at Le Mans, with 19 overall wins and 108 class victories, making it the most successful marque at the race. However, in the 2023 edition of the 24-hour race, the company faced challenges, with its highest-placed car finishing ninth in the Hypercar class.

  • GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition Pays Tribute to Custom MkIV Supra
  • Available in Mikan Blast or Absolute Zero and Limited to 900 Units for U.S. Market
  • Aggressive Style with Oversized, Manually Adjustable Rear Spoiler
  • Matte-Black Finished Wheels, Black GR Brake Calipers, and Black Supra Side Graphic
  • Choice of Paddle Shifted 8-Speed Automatic or 6-Speed Manual Transmission

PLANO, Texas (June 21, 2023) – The Toyota Supra has been a legendary sports car for over four decades. From its first-generation roots as the Celica Supra in 1979 to today’s fifth-generation GR Supra, this model has captured the hearts of enthusiasts with its power, handling, technology, and style. To commemorate this history, Toyota is introducing a stunning 45th Anniversary Edition for the 2024 model year.

The GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition takes inspiration from the iconic 1990’s models and will be available in two striking colors: Mikan Blast (a deep orange) or Absolute Zero (a stunning white). Built on the 3.0 Premium Grade, this special edition GR Supra features a low-slung, aggressive design highlighted by a large, manually adjustable rear spoiler. The spoiler can be adjusted to change its angle and affect the downforce on the rear wheels.

The 45th Anniversary Edition also features matte-black finished 19-inch aluminum wheels, black GR brake calipers, and a black Supra side graphic that adds to its distinctive look. The special edition pays homage to the iconic MkIV Supra and brings a touch of nostalgia and flair to the 2024 Supra lineup. Only 900 units of the 45th Anniversary Edition will be available, with Mikan Blast and Absolute Zero colors evenly split. The engine will be powered by the same 382-hp B58 inline six-cylinder 3.0-liter turbocharged engine found in all 3.0 Supra models, giving it exceptional performance.

The GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition continues the tradition of offering unique versions of the Supra since its relaunch in 2019. Over the years, Toyota has introduced special editions like the Launch, A91, A91 Carbon Fiber, and A91MT. The GR Supra has also undergone continuous improvements, with upgrades to its power, handling, and the addition of new models like the 2.0-L 4-cylinder and the Manual Transmission option. In 2020, Toyota GAZOO Racing started producing a GR Supra GT4 model for racing.

Customers can expect the GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition to arrive at Toyota dealerships in the fall of 2023. Pricing details for the special edition model and the complete 2024 GR Supra lineup will be announced at a later date.

Blast From the Past

The Toyota Supra first went on sale in 1979 as the Toyota Celica Supra in the U.S. The first-generation model, also known as the Mark I (MkI) Supra, featured a luxury, rear-wheel drive sports car design. It underwent several changes during its short production run and eventually became known as the A50 Celica Supra. It featured a 2.6-liter inline-six engine and was available with both manual and automatic transmissions.

In 1982, the second-generation A60 Celica (MkII) Supra was introduced. This model featured a 2.8-liter 5M-GE twin-cam straight-six engine and had a completely redesigned aerodynamic body. It included features like retractable headlights, an independent rear suspension, and a more aggressive overall look.

In 1986, Toyota introduced the third-generation A70 Supra (MkIII), dropping the Celica name and positioning it as a high-performance sports car. The A70 Supra featured a sleek, aerodynamic body with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produced up to 230-hp with the twin-turbocharged variant. It also introduced advanced features like anti-lock braking system (ABS) and an electronically moderated suspension.

The fourth-generation A80 Supra (MkIV) arrived in 1993. It featured a timeless design, two choices of inline-six engines (naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged), and advanced features like electronically controlled suspension and driver/passenger-side airbags.

After an absence of nearly two decades, the Toyota Supra made its triumphant return in 2019 as the A90 GR Supra (MkV). It featured a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine with up to 335-hp and 365 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering exhilarating performance. The GR Supra was the first model globally badged under TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s (GR) brand and marked Toyota’s commitment to driver-centered sports cars. Since then, Toyota has continued to enhance the GR Supra, introducing more powerful models, adding a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder variant, and offering a Manual Transmission option.

In addition to the road-going GR Supra models, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing also developed the GR Supra GT4 EVO for racing. The GT4 model allows professional and amateur drivers to compete in GT4 racing categories worldwide and has achieved success in various races and championships.

With the introduction of the 2024 GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition, Toyota celebrates the Supra’s legacy while delivering a thrilling sports car experience to enthusiasts.

VW Explores Unique Versions of the Bulli, Including a Bus with Tracks

The Volkswagen Bus holds a significant place in the history of the company. It gained immense popularity and became an iconic vehicle for millions of people. In a new video, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ vintage division in Germany takes us on a journey through the model’s legacy. The video showcases some of the noteworthy models produced by the company.

One of the most fascinating VW Bulli variants featured in the video is a special 1968 T1 Kombi. This particular vehicle was equipped with half-tracks, making it truly unique. When it arrived at the facility, it was disassembled and came in three or four separate boxes containing individual parts. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the bus underwent a conversion that added two extra axles, with tracks wrapped around the rear two. This transformed the bus into a formidable off-road monster, primarily used in mountainous regions of Austria. It’s important to note that only the rear axle is powered, while the front two axles are used for steering.
