    Introducing: the Hoonipigasus!
    This is the hill climb beast that I’ll be racing at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It’s a Porsche 911 SVSR, built by BBi Autosport in partnership with Mobil 1, and it’s a one-of-a-kind, mid-engine, twin-turbo, 1400hp, AWD, 1000kg, weapon.
    This meth-fueled monster is intended to be the world’s ultimate Porsche race car build with the sole purpose of trying to win the top class in the 100th running of the legendary PPIHC race. We’ve also teamed up with former pro snowboarder, musician, and internationally acclaimed street artist Trouble (Trevor) Andrew, a.k.a. Gucci Ghost, to launch this incredible new livery on this build. The livery, color, and name pays homage to the infamous 1971 Porsche 917/20 “Pink Pig”. Lots of work and planning went into this, and this project is just incredible!

    What a tribute.

    ^You'd kill yourself.

    Bobby, how the hell does Alfa not know where my car is? Isn't there some sort of tracking system you salespeople have when a car leaves the factory with a goddamn VIN #?

    but there'd be a moment - a few milliseconds before certain death -where they'd have the biggest grin of their lives plastered on their face

    It's 1400hp, not 1000, so .636 hp per pound. Death would be standing along the route.

    Hold ma beer. Having a grin when I go out would be preferred.

    Just imagine how far you’d launch it off the side of Pikes Peak in that rig.

    Unbeatable records I’m thinking.

    1400 at sea level, about 1,000 at the start and 800 at the finish line, IIRC
