Introducing: the Hoonipigasus! This is the hill climb beast that I’ll be racing at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It’s a Porsche 911 SVSR, built by BBi Autosport in partnership with Mobil 1, and it’s a one-of-a-kind, mid-engine, twin-turbo, 1400hp, AWD, 1000kg, weapon. This meth-fueled monster is intended to be the world’s ultimate Porsche race car build with the sole purpose of trying to win the top class in the 100th running of the legendary PPIHC race.
Ken Block will have a drive ride to the top.

Looks and sounds like a great commuter car!

I think this is another great option. It's a "kit" for a mazda miata.

Smelled Japanese drugs burning? Any idea what this is a reference to?

Opium. According to my Dad, who was in the Pacific in WW2, a lot of the Japanese were higher than kites. He brought home a couple of opium pipes, relieved from a dead guy, along with his bloodstained Rising Sun flag.

Not a big Block hoonigan fan, but I will be interested to see how this machine goes.

Flatbutt, there is so much win in this picture. I'm genuinely in awe of your achievement

For my own interest, what were you studying?
