Toyota is going up Pike Peak in an electric car again this year, but the whole program nearly ended when a crash with a Hyundai on the way to the hillclimb destroyed their DC quick charger.

Peugeot is doing something very interesting at Pikes Peak. That's surprising because I find them to be the most boring car maker in Europe. Well, maybe Loeb can help.

Talk about building a car from the ground up

Here's some onboard video of Sebastian "Mr. Roboto" Loeb testing at Pikes Peak in his batshit 208 T16.

Ever wondered how to build Sebastian Loeb's preponderantly powerful Pikes Peak Peugeot 208 T16, just watch this timelapse. The car goes from a frame to a complete car in 30 seconds.

Am I excited for one of the most successful racecar drivers in history to whip one of the fastest racecars ever built up one of the most demanding race courses in the world? In a word, yes.

Sébastien Loeb's Pikes Peak Peugeot is insane. As proof, I present you with these metrics:

0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.8 seconds.
0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 4.8 seconds.
And 0 to 240 km/h (149 mph) in 7(!) seconds.

The Peugeot 208 T16 is powered by a mid mounted twin turbo 3.2L V6 making 875HP and weighs 1929 lbs (875 kg…

The Acura NSX is one of the great cars of our times. It's gorgeous, it's balanced, it's beautiful. But it isn't totally perfect for climbing a mountain like Pikes Peak. So LoveFab made some modifications. And by 'some,' I mean all. They made all the modifications.

The Pikes Peak Hill Climb has been one of the most dangerous races in America for decades. Each year, cars tumble off the mountain. Sometimes, the drivers are insanely lucky and live to drive the Peak again. Other times, they aren't.
