Hillclimb Beast

Purpose-built for the unforgiving mountain tarmac of hillclimb racing, this Caprice excels on steep gradients with tight corners and rapid elevation changes. Its wide track and aggressive aero package deliver exceptional mechanical and aerodynamic grip, while the adaptable suspension setup allows the driver to fine-tune handling characteristics to match evolving track conditions and road surfaces.

280mm front and rear widebody arches with functional aero channels
Extended side skirts integrated with vortex generators
Truncated rear hatch with active aero flap
Lowered chassis by 70mm with race-spec coilovers and remote hydraulic ride height control

Large center extractor vent on hood with mesh grill
Downward ducts channeling air to front radiators and intercoolers
1100mm wide single-element adjustable rear wing
Aggressive rear diffuser sculpted for clean underbody airflow

Aerodynamics are central to this build, with a large center extractor vent on the hood expelling hot air to reduce under-hood temperatures, complemented by downward ducts feeding cool air to front radiators and intercoolers. The rear features a truncated hatch with an active aero flap and a massive 1100mm wide adjustable wing, generating pronounced downforce. An aggressive rear diffuser channels airflow cleanly beneath the car, minimizing lift and enhancing high-speed stability during rapid elevation changes.

OZ Racing Ultraleggera 18x10J front wheels
OZ Racing Ultraleggera 18x12J rear wheels
Pirelli Trofeo R 315/30ZR18 tires front and rear

Fitted with OZ Racing Ultraleggera wheels, the setup features staggered widths of 18x10J at the front and 18x12J at the rear, wrapped in Pirelli Trofeo R tires sized 315/30ZR18. This combination provides a vast contact patch and lightweight rotational inertia, delivering superior grip and responsiveness essential for high-speed cornering and traction on hillclimb courses.

The car’s stance is aggressively lowered by 70mm from stock using race-spec coilovers equipped with remote hydraulic controls for real-time height adjustment. This low center of gravity, combined with the widened track, enhances stability and cornering precision, while the aggressive camber settings optimize tire contact during high lateral loads encountered on elevation-heavy tracks.

Twin-turbocharged 6.2L V8 producing 900 horsepower
Dry sump oiling system for sustained high-G operation
Race ECU tuning for optimized power delivery
Full sequential transmission for rapid gear changes

At the heart of the Hillclimb Beast is a heavily modified 6.2L V8 equipped with twin turbochargers, pushing output to a formidable 900 horsepower. The engine features a dry sump lubrication system to maintain oil pressure and reliability during steep, high-speed ascents. Race-spec ECU tuning sharpens throttle response and optimizes boost delivery, while robust internals ensure durability under extreme conditions.

Power flows through a seamless full sequential transmission engineered for quick shifts and minimal power interruption. The drivetrain is calibrated to balance aggressive acceleration with precise traction management, leveraging the widened track and high-grip tires to convert raw engine output into confident forward momentum on demanding hillclimb stages.

Precision-cut widebody panels fabricated from lightweight materials for weight savings and structural rigidity
Custom venting and louver integration designed via CFD to optimize brake cooling and reduce lift
Hydraulic ride height adjustment system installed for on-the-fly suspension tuning
Active aero flap mechanization integrated into rear hatch with electronic control
