2020 Sierra Cars #23 Yokohama Alpha

Pikes Peak is considered one of the most challenging and dangerous rally courses in the world, yet it doesn’t compare to Mount Washington – the peak of demanding driving. For any driver, it’s a daunting hillclimb, but when Sierra Cars undertook the 2021 Climb to the Clouds, it did so with the goal of its new powerful, precision-focused and lightweight Alpha being the fastest two-wheel-drive car ever. Thanks to Sierra’s engineering expertise and the passion, skill and determination of their crew—O.P. Andersen, Cole Powelson and Mark Hermansen—the record was reset, and the Alpha brought home the title entering the sub-ten-minute club with 9:37.449. Being the most powerful Sierra vehicle ever, the Alpha features a turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa boasting 450 horsepower with a top speed of 140mph. The Alpha produces a single ton of downforce – twice its own weight – using big carbon fiber wings and weighs just 1,100lbs. It achieves 0-60mph in 2.2 seconds and is geared for asphalt driving, capable of extreme levels of grip, power and speed to take on the toughest race in the world.
