Having contested for the past two years, MMC hopes to claim its first victory, under the new Electric Modified Division, with the MiEV Evolution III.
The Evolution III is an improved and evolved version of last year's single seater and major components including the high-capacity battery, high-output electric motor and electric powered 4WD, consisting of four electric motors, have improved for better performance delivery.
Downforce has been increased with a new carbon cowl design and with wind-tunnel optimisation of the spoiler and other detail shapes.
Each car will be piloted by two-time Dakar Rally overall champion, and team captain, Hiroshi Masuoka, and Greg Tracy, a six-time Pikes Peak motorcycle champion.
The annually held Pikes Peak International Hill Climb sees participants starting at an elevation of 2,862 metres and takes competitors through 156 corners on a 20km course to the finish on the 4,301 metre summit of Pikes Peak. With an elevation difference of 1,439 metres, atmospheric pressure, temperature, weather and other conditions vary significantly between the start and finish line.
