Pikes Peak Escudo

anyone know which car it was created from

The Suzuki Escudo.

(a.k.a. Vitara? or is it the Sidekick? or did it change between generations? :p)

The car's basic shape is taken from the Escudo which is also known as the Grand Vitara, but the Pike's Peak car is built from the ground up for one thing, Hill Climb Racing, it is built specifically for that.
The body is C/F composite molded and has a mid-engine AWD drive train, the engine is a Twin-Turbo V6 which generates around 950hp at around 8000rpm.

Quite a nice little toy :bigthumb:

You're both right and wrong, the pre-1996 Escudo was a twin-engine variant, the post-1996 Escudo was a mid-engine variant.

It is also good for other races such as the Queensland Gold Rush
