Pikes Peak Rampage
1969 Shelby GT350
The Pikes Peak Rampage transforms the 1969 Shelby GT350 into a mid-engine hill climb machine, engineered to dominate the Unlimited Time Attack class at Pikes Peak. By relocating the 5.2L turbo V8 behind the cockpit, this build achieves near-perfect weight distribution, enabling aggressive driving on steep, technical terrain. The widened front and rear tracks, combined with bulbous rear quarters housing large intercooler sidepods, give the car a muscular stance while functional aero ducts deliver vital cooling at altitude.
Maintaining the classic coupe roofline, the cabin is shifted forward to preserve balance and driver visibility. The extended rear incorporates a large adjustable swan neck wing and diffuser designed specifically for thin mountain air, optimizing downforce without sacrificing top-end speed. The pearlescent indigo finish, satin chrome highlights, and orange-white graphics blend retro styling cues with modern racing aggression, making this GT350 a bold statement on both form and function.

Platform
1969 Shelby GT350
The 1969 Shelby GT350 is an iconic iteration of the American muscle classic, rooted in Ford's Mustang platform but dialed up with Shelby’s signature race-ready modifications. Featuring a robust 302 cubic inch V8 and a stiffened chassis, this model delivers a raw driving experience that bridges street muscle and racecar precision. Its long hood, short rear deck proportions and aggressive stance make it a canonical representation of late-60s pony car culture — a timeless foundation revered by enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
⌘
Aero Package
Large adjustable swan neck rear wing mounted at 820mm
Rear diffuser optimized for high-altitude airflow
Functional front splitters and side ducts for intercooler cooling
⟡
Chassis
With a massively widened stance and track-focused suspension geometry, the Rampage commands grip and stability on Pikes Peak’s tight, elevation-shifting course. The Michelin slicks and race-spec dampers provide confidence through rapid direction changes and steep climbs, making it a formidable competitor in Unlimited Time Attack.

Wave 02
Hillclimb All The Things
We took the world’s wildest hillclimb dreams and shoved them into machines you’d never expect to see charging up Pikes Peak or Goodwood’s twisty ribbons. From a stealthy, jetfighter-inspired ’96 Toyota Chaser that’s basically a flying saucer on wheels, to a mid-engine Chevy Tahoe that swapped suburban lumbering for razor-sharp mountain fury, these builds are proof that turning everyday metal into apex predators on a mountain sprint isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable.
