Fulvio Benazzoli has developed this very clean looking Impreza GC8 Coupé to compete on the E1-3000+ Class and 2018 marked the first year where we could see this Boxer powered Monster in action in its latest Evolution.
With around 450Hp produced by the 2.0L Turbocharged Boxer engine, it still maintain the unequal lenght haders setup which makes the sound as "Classic Subaru" as it gets.

Dejan Kopajtic´s unique Zastava Yugo is even more evolved on 2018 and features even more extreme bodywork changes alongside the spectacular mechanical changes performed on it to become one of the fastest 1.6L machines in the Croatian Hillclimb Championship.
Powered by the 1.6L Naturally Aspirated engine taken from the FIAT Bravo, here with 220Hp/9.000Rpm, the diminutive hatchback benefits from its ow weight of 725Kg to become a devastantingly quick Pocket Rocket. With all this power transferred to the front wheels through a 6 speed Sadev sequential Gearbox, beating Class records like it did on Buzet Hillclimb vecmoes certainly a possibility. Like you can watch on the video.

Rico Hofstetter drives this beautifully finished Mazda MX-5 NB on the Swiss Hillclimb Championship. Converted into a Coupé in order to have the maximum Structural rigidity possible, it is powered by the 2000cc Naturally Aspirated Mazda powerplant, here tuned up to 220Hp/9.000Rpm.
Having this kind of power moving only around 900Kg makes this machine a very agile thing capable of posting very competitive times. And among the fastest on the 2000cc Class where it competes.

Alex de Vries has evolved his quite unique Citroen 2CV that we have already shown on our Channel one year ago, and now it features the same BMW GS1200 Engine, but with the addition of a Rotrex Supercharged among some ohter goodies.
Now with 154Hp moving the lightweight Classic (only 660Kg), it becomes a far quicker machine that is only being left a bit behind by the Gearbox which is largely stock and made originally to cope with...28Hp ( !!??)

This is the mighty powerful Lancer Evo IX of Domagoj Perekovic, one of the most powerful Lancer Evolution models in all of Hillclimb Racing and the product of almost a decade of development.
Here you can see the THP tuned Monster attacking Buzet Hillclimb both from inside and outside to check how crazy this 4G63 engined highly turbocharged 820Hp Monster is when in action. Placing in the podium among the Fastest Touring Cars present despite some gearbox issues, it is a terrifying machine that will see further development next year to take things into a whole new level.
When that is said about a machine that currently boast numbers as impressive as 820Hp/1200Kg, it´s because something rather special is coming....

This is Massimo Guerra´s latest Hillclimb Weapon , the incredibly rare (only around 50 were built between 1966 and 1968) Ginetta G12 in 1600cc Twin Carburettor Spec. Raced in Cividale Castelmonte and almost winning the Historic portion of the event (only mechanical problems on the last runs prevented him from taking victory) this machine benefits from its mid-engined layout coupled with its very low weight of 580Kg thanks to its multi-tubular space frame clothed in a lightweight fiberglass body.
It is powered by a Lotus twin-cam 1600cc engine breathing through twin Weber carburetors with the engine mated to a Hewland 5-speed transaxle sending the power to the rear wheels. In the front, the suspension was comprised of double wishbones with coil over shocks. The rear had double radius arms, upper transverse links, coil-over shocks, and lower wishbones. Girling disc brakes could be found on all four corners.
A piece of British Racing History and ingenuity that thankfully we can still see today being properly driven on the Italian Hills thanks to Mr. Guerra.

Dawie Joubert placed 3rd Fastest on the last Knynsa Speed Festival´s Simola Hillclimb at the wheel of his brutal spaceframed Lotus Exige powered by a turbocharged Honda K24 Engine.
In the end, only some engine problems prevented this 700+Hp (power value is variable depending on boost setting used) Monster from winning the Modified Saloon Class outright. Aided by its very low weight of little over 800Kg, this is a tremendously fast machine that will be fighting next for Top Honours again and for the All Time Record in its class.

One of the fastest machines in the last decade on the Canadian venue, it has won the race n multiple occasions and still today is a competitive car as a final 4th Place in the 2018 edition can attest.

This absolutely beautiful Lancia Stratos HF V6 is raced by Silvio Andrighetti on the Historic HillClimb Championship. The 2.4L Naturally Aspirated Rally Legend from the 70´s is still a very capable machine with over 250Hp moving just 880Kg. The mid-engined, two seater layout certainly helps on that while also making the Rear Wheel Drive machine quite tricky to drive.
Above all it is a tremendously charismatic machine that even when not raced at ten/tenths ,is still a mesmerizing object to behold given its incredible looks and sound. The fact that such a machine is still raced nowadays in proper fashion, like we can see here on the last edition of Cividale-Castelmonte Hillclimb, is something we can only applaud.
