Rivian R1T Refresh Quad-Motor revealed for Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Rivian has shared the R1T Refresh Quad Motor version design customized for Pikes Peak International Hill Climb racing by this weekend.

The render shows the vehicle’s exterior in new stripes of different colors and a profound racing theme. The quad motor R1T will provide 1,025 horsepower, 0-60 acceleration in less than 2.5 seconds, and 1,198 lb-ft torque. The company has also worked on braking and suspension in this new vehicle for better aerodynamics.

“The new Quad is ready to deliver the speed and precision handling that the Race to the Clouds demands,” wrote Rivian. The EV maker will start its turn at 2024 Pikes Peak racing on June 23, 2024, from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm in Colorado.

Gardener Nichols will handle the R1T Refresh at this year’s Pikes Peak and for the second time. This year’s 102nd Running of the Broadmoor Pikes International Hill Climb is sponsored by Gran Turismo in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Earlier this month, Rivian refreshed R1T and R1S models with new refinements and a signature style dual LED bar. The R1T refresh comes with dual, tri, and quad motor configurations but different battery sizes up to 400 miles of battery range.
