One of the quickest Monsters in European HillClimb Racing, Dan Michl´s Lotus Elise V8 had a very successful 2021 Season and is sporting its most evolved spec ever.

This is not a new Monster in European HillClimb Racing by any means, being the product of over 10 years of development and racing by Michl Motorsport. Using the Elise/Speedster chassis at its core, it is from that point on, a highly modified beast, with the most notable feature being the unique engine used. Powered by a Hartley V8 unit in Naturally Aspirated form and now on 3.0L form, it is capable of 430Hp/11.000Rpm. For those unaware, this V8 is built using as base 2 Hayabusa Engine units and "fusing" them into a single engine. Of course it is way more complicated than that but in rough terms that is how this Dry-Sumped engine is built. And here it finds the perfect counterpart, in this mid-engined, 730Kg, carbon fibre bodied Monster that on 2021 is still as competitive as ever and always fighting for the Top spot among Touring Cars in each event it enters. Here it can be seen at:
