Summit Apex Protocol

Twin-element rear wing on 400mm carbon fiber pylons spanning 1900mm
Full-width rear diffuser with vertical fins
Front splitter with upward angled dive planes projecting 150mm
Vortex generators along rear bodywork for airflow control

Purpose-built for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the Summit Apex Protocol’s suspension and chassis are engineered to handle rapid elevation changes and tight alpine corners. The front double-wishbone suspension provides precise wheel control and increased camber gain, while the rear setup maintains planted stability. Tuned for high-speed grip and responsive handling, this build sacrifices traditional off-road articulation in favor of track-focused compliance and feedback, enabling aggressive driving on the demanding hill climb course.

The Summit Apex Protocol transforms the 2020 Jeep Wrangler into a precision-engineered hill climb machine, tailored for the brutal demands of Pikes Peak. Its suspension is completely reimagined with a bespoke double-wishbone front setup and a massively widened track, trading traditional off-road compliance for razor-sharp handling and suspension travel optimized for high-speed elevation changes. The exposed carbon fiber bodywork is aggressively sculpted, featuring trapezoidal fender arches and vertical intake ducts that feed dual side-mounted intercoolers and advanced brake cooling systems, ensuring reliability and performance in the thin mountain air.

Aerodynamics take center stage with a full suite of functional components including a twin-element rear wing mounted on carbon fiber pylons, a full-width diffuser with vertical fins, and vortex generators to maintain airflow attachment. Underneath, a heavily modified 3.6L turbocharged V6 with dry sump lubrication mates to a sequential gearbox, supported by extensive ducting fed through roof-mounted inlets. Forgeline GA3R wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires provide a planted, aggressive stance, turning this Wrangler into a formidable Unlimited Class competitor that combines brute force with aerodynamic finesse.
