Chevrolet's Corvette ZR1X, powered by a hybrid all-wheel drive system with 1,250 horsepower, set a new Pikes Peak production car record at the 104th running of the hill climb. Driven by IndyCar veteran JR Hildebrand, the ZR1X completed the 12.4-mile course in 9:30.104, more than 23 seconds quicker than the previous production-car mark. The car required only minimal modifications to meet safety standards, making it essentially a stock production vehicle.
