Volkswagen Group had a good year at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Not only did its electric race car take home an overall record, but one of its lesser-known entrants took home a class trophy, also.

Rhys Millen piloted a largely stock Bentley Bentayga to victory in the production SUV class. Its 10:49.9 time slashed nearly two whole minutes off the previous record of 12:35.61, achieved in a 2014 Range Rover Sport. The only modifications to the vehicle were for safety and regulations -- a bit of weight removal, plus an added roll cage, sports exhaust, racing seat and fire suppression system.
