Hillclimb Howler

Designed specifically for technical hill climb courses like Pikes Peak, the Hillclimb Howler thrives on steep, winding roads with rapid elevation changes. Its suspension travel and active aero systems adapt dynamically to terrain, delivering confidence and grip through every tight corner and high-speed straightaway.

Carbon fiber widebody with +300mm front and rear track extensions each side
Fully vented carbon fiber hood with central extraction chimney and side NACA ducts
Cropped wheel arches with active venting ducts for wheel well pressure management
Extended rear hatch with integrated cooling ducts feeding rear air brake system

Adjustable multi-plane carbon fiber rear wing with hydraulic actuation
Front splitter with dive planes featuring integrated Gurney flaps
Large rear diffuser optimized for downforce and airflow management
Active aero deployment system calibrated for hill climb elevation changes

Full aero development is central to the Hillclimb Howler’s performance, with an active multi-plane rear wing hydraulically adjusted to optimize downforce on variable gradients. The front splitter features dive planes with Gurney flaps, while the rear diffuser and vented bodywork manage airflow to maximize grip and cooling. The active aero system dynamically balances drag and downforce tailored to steep hill climb demands.

OZ Racing Ultraleggera 18x10 front and 18x11 rear center-lock wheels
Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R slick tires: 305/680-18 front, 325/705-18 rear

Fitted with OZ Racing Ultraleggera center-lock wheels sized 18x10 front and 18x11 rear, the setup prioritizes lightweight strength and quick change capability. Wrapped in wide Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R slicks, the wheels provide exceptional mechanical grip and precise feedback essential for high-speed hill climb precision.

The build features a 60mm lowered ride height to reduce center of gravity while maintaining suspension travel of 150mm for uneven mountain terrain. The aggressive wide track and sharply flared arches create a planted stance, emphasizing stability and aerodynamic efficiency through high-speed elevation changes.

Supercharged 5.4L V8 with hill climb-specific ECU calibration
Tuned exhaust system reducing lag and maximizing power delivery
Target output of 750 horsepower emphasizing mid-range torque bursts
Race-focused throttle mapping for rapid response on tight elevation changes

The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 retains its classic architecture but is extensively tuned for hill climb dynamics. Enhanced throttle mapping and a bespoke ECU deliver instantaneous torque bursts crucial for tight elevation changes, while a refined exhaust system minimizes lag and extracts maximum power, pushing output to 750 horsepower.

Power is transmitted through a race-spec drivetrain optimized for quick response and durability under hill climb stresses. The setup balances aggressive power delivery with mechanical grip, matched to a suspension that accommodates steep gradients and rapid directional shifts without sacrificing stability.
