Coolest Cars At Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Pikes Peak Hill Climb (PPHC) is the annual hill climb race that takes place at Pikes peak mountains in Colorado USA. Each year auto enthusiasts, engineers, drivers and the hottest cars gather at this spot to compete in a race to the clouds. The reason why Pikes peak has gained such prominence is because it is one of the most dangerous tracks in the whole world. The 12 miles long track starts as a simple highway road and merges with the mountain track to become a narrow climb to the summit. That's the reason why the cars competing on these tracks have to be specially built to keep the driver safe and ensure enough speed and stability to ace the race. Over the years many spectacular cars have made an appearance at this event. Have a look at this list of the coolest cars at Pikes Peak Hill Climb -
