At one computer somewhere in the world sits a lone person screaming internally, “his name is Rhys Millen!” It certainly is, but you most likely know Rhys by his action sequences in films like Fast and the Furious, Dukes of Hazzard and numerous commercials more than you know his name.
However, you don’t just become a premiere Hollywood stunt driver without being, well, a pretty kickass driver. Rhys has twice before taken the Pikes Peak Hill Climb title himself and his father three times before him. This time Rhys hopes to accomplish the feat June 24th in a Bentley Bentayga to break the existing production record of 12:35.61. A task which in order to accomplish he will need to average at least 60mph through the 156-corner course with his unmodified 608hp, 664lb.-ft. of torque Bentayga.
For reference here is Ken Block taking on Pikes Peak in his 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V2!
