800 HP Ford Fiestas To Storm Pike's Peak
Ford has announced it will enter two Fiestas in the 2009 Pike's Peak International Hill Climb. With 800 HP 2.0 liter four-cylinders forged in the fires of hell they certainly won't be your Grandma's econobox.
Okay, think about high horsepower per liter road cars. The Mitsubishi EVO VIII FQ400 with 200 HP/liter comes to mind, the Honda S2000 with 120 HP/liter isn't bad, but these babies make an astonishing 400 HP/liter. That's mind bending. That's sadistic. That's awesome. Add to it the cars have been outfitted with all-wheel-drive and a custom suspension and you've got some serious hardware here. The cars will be hitting the hill July 19th with drivers Andreas Eriksson and Marcus Grönholm at the wheel, taking aim at beating the team record of 10 minutes up the 12.4 mile course. We're thinking they've got a pretty good chance if they just floor the gas and let the Earth rotate underneath the cars.
