The Hyundai PM580, formally the RMR Hyundai Genesis PM580, is a one-off prototype race car built by Rhys Millen Racing for the Unlimited class of the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. It was designed for the 2010 event to beat the record time of 10:01.408 set in 2007 by Nobuhiro Tajima. The car pairs a chromoly tube frame and a carbon fiber body with a Hyundai Lambda V6 whose displacement was raised from 3.8 to 4.1 litres and which gained a turbocharger, driving all four wheels through a semi-automatic transmission. The source gives about 559 kilowatts (750 horsepower) and a weight of 839 kilograms for the 2010 car. It was revised for 2011, and in 2013 the team built the rear-wheel-drive PM580-T on a Daytona Prototype chassis, which placed second overall.
