Ride on the bumper of a screaming 910hp, Twin-Turbo, All-wheel Drive, 150 mph Suzuki SX4 as it races up one of the world's most dangerous hills. An attempt by the "Monster" to break his own record of 10:01:41...

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO (June 29, 2010) -- For the fifth consecutive time, Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima combined experience, skill and Falken Tires to claim overall victory in the 88th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Although he did not set a new Pikes Peak record, one day before his 60th birthday, Tajima continues to hold the current overall record for reaching the peak, beating hill climb veterans Paul Dallenbach and Rhys Millen in the Unlimited Class. He drove his new 910-hp Monster Sport Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special on Falken WildPeak A/T tires, the powerful new line of all-terrain, all-season tires Falken launched this past April.

Following exhaustive tests in a Japanese wind tunnel facility, Monster's 2010 Pikes Peak race car underwent extensive aerodynamic changes to better adapt to the modified road surface on the race to the clouds, which assumed a smoother tarmac and less gravel than last year. Thinning air ascending the mountain robs most motors of their power by 30 or more percent, but the increase in horsepower over last year's race car helped push the driver forward.

  • Where can I get that rear spoiler? I need it for my -94 suzuki swift, since I'm always late from work and my boss said that I need to get some grip.

  • A moment of silence for the bug at 6:36

  • nice ride :) but Walter Röhrl could teach him how to manage pikes peak with a real monster - without any security system in the car ...

  • That's one ex-bug @6.36

  • Has the Bowler Wildcat ever set a time on the Pikes Peak hillclimb? Bet that would be quite fast, not as fast as this maybe, granted, but still pretty quick?

  • Totally felt like a GT5 Run in a Escudo!

  • My heart just about stopped at 8:22 when the camera picked off the pylon!!
