2013 Hyundai RMR PM580-T that Rhys Millen ran at Pikes Peak in 2013. It broke the previous record held by the Hyundai RMR Genesis Coupe, although it ultimately placed 2nd overall.

It’s a one-off Unlimited Class build by Rhys Millen Racing, with a carbon-composite body over a Grand-Am Daytona Prototype chassis, and a 4.1L turbo V6 making around 900 hp. Rear-wheel drive, Xtrac sequential—really purpose-built for the mountain.

The PM580-T is again a Pikes Peak-specific prototype, based heavily on the previous PM580 prototype.[6] The PM580-T was built using a Gen-1 Crawford Performance Engineering Daytona Prototype tubular monocoque chassis with aluminum honeycomb (manufactured in November 2005). Rhys Millen added a custom carbon-composite body modeled after the production Genesis Coupe‘s unique greenhouse silhouette. Total racing weight of only 2,150 pounds (975 kg).

 

Front and rear suspensions use sophisticated front and rear double A-arms with a pushrod setup and Penske 8760 racing dampers. The brakes are composed of iron rotors with six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo calipers using Motul racing fluid, with oversized cooling ductwork routed outside of the frame for adequate brake rotor heat dissipation in the thin air of the Pike’s Peaks extreme altitudes. Its aluminum radiator is tilted forward for improved airflow at altitude.

 

The PM580-T is powered by a Hyundai Lambda engine. Beginning as a naturally-aspirated 3.8 litres (232 cu in), the engine’s displacement was increased to 4.1 litres (250 cu in). In conjunction with a custom intake, free-flow exhaust, specialized engine management, and a Garrett turbocharger, the engine creates +900 hp (671 kW; 912 PS) and 800 lb⋅ft (1,100 N⋅m) of torque. The rear-wheel drive powertrain features a Xtrac DP386 6-speed sequential transmission, with a clutch for launch. BBS 3-piece, 18-inch aluminum wheels and Hankook F200 racing slicks included. The engine bay was lined in gold foil, in an effort to reflect the immense heat away from critical parts.

The car was fully refreshed by Rhys Millen motorsports, including a brand new turbo, new coils and fresh fluids all around. No miles/hours since purchased from Rhys.
