Having taken on Daytona and Sebring, Honda will bring its HPD ARX-04b LMP2 prototype to Pikes Peak for the 2015 edition of the historic hill climb.
The HPD ARX-04b will be piloted by IndyCar and former F1 driver Justin Wilson, with power to come from a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, AutoGuide reports. The car will also be the first full-carbon monocoque vehicle sanctioned by Pikes Peak authorities, where it will compete in the Unlimited class.
Honda says the effort is to test how the HPD’s chassis handles the climb, and what the high altitude will do to the production-based V6.
The 2015 edition of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will occur June 28.
