Saxo , RS3 , Leon and Fabia.

That leon is evil😈

[@watkanerdanwel]

Explode mode😅

[@adrianp3098]

9:43 That sound was insane. 💯

[@jdyxtra]

Yeah, that must be the angriest VR6 ever 😄

[@rachmatdwiputramat2683]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Sounds beyond evil we would say ;)

[@offroadadventuresgreece]

The rally it's not only how fast your car is but what the engine sounds... This is something that never you will find in an electric car no matter how fast it is.. I want to hear the cars screaming and the exhaust spit fire 🔥🔥

[@leccybadger]

Horsepower does not always guarantee a win it seems.... Excellent coverage and hats off to each driver shown, amazing car control 💯👍🏻

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Thanks!!

[@hillclimbracingfan5821]

@@max.racingWerver’s Porsche started as road unit-he built it himself from ground up and it’s full purpose built for hillclimb.

[@Cerebro960]

I liked the Audi Quattro S1 and especially the S1600 saxo ❤👌

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Two ends of the spectrum ;)

[@gafrers]

Kitcar or not is always good to see a 306 Maxi. Delta and S1 FTW😍😍

[@azeQify]

Yes the león isn't the fastest out this bunch but the way that thing looks, flings out of corners, sounds and shoots flames is certainly the most spectacular. With the audi s1 always my favorite in these videos.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Both offer spectacle way beyond their final placing...

[@iDropPhats]

Porsche’s engineering superiority wins! It’s still crazy to me how there’s never a clearly defined winner before any event. Anyone can take the crown and that’s the beauty of hillclimb.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Nowadays no Motorsport comes close to the variety offered by HillClimb Racing...

[@Mcali1984]

Eh, some dominate more than others. Yes, there is a big variety. But usually if 2 of the brands in this show up. They usually take it. More often than not. Porsche is just insane.

[@user-bl8co6gq7i]

in the end Nicolas WERVER with the old PORSCHE

[@Hatch47]

7:58 Lancia sounds insane

[@Ferg2jz]

Crazy that the Evo 9 with only 400bhp, effectively achievable with a remap, is right up there with the fastest stuff at the event.. Man's got some huge talent and shows how capable the Evos STILL are.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Just on experience alone, Antonino has pretty much anyone beat. Go through all our Top 10/15 videos and see on how many he is present ;)

[@bapr3887]

Its 400+, by watching it rear wheel at turns i would suggest that there is almost nothing oem in this "evo".

[@MJHKing1]

I always appreciate the Porsches. Often lower power, heavier but still do well. Beautifully set up and driven i guess

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Gotta appreciate Enginnering superiority ;)

[@stoneeh]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: the GT3 R Rennsport, with a proper driver, will dominate Hillclimb. Only the SLK340 has the potential to be consistently faster, but we haven't seen much of that monster for a while now.

[@broskimedula5300]

@@stoneeh You're referring to the Judd powered SLK. Yeah we need an update on it. There was a Judd powered Z4 too, if I'm not mistaken.

[@ausdude121]

Just seen a clip of elon musk talking about how bad the porch is with the engine mounted over the rear axle. And it can never be fixed. Not my opinion I love them

[@vincenzodelladio]

Leon R32 is impressive!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Eargasm again! Those 5 cylinders of the S1 and Fabia are insane, but the 306, Saxo, Cupra R32, Porsche GT3s and the first Evo with the machine gun exhaust when throttle is lifted are very good sounding too. The Ginetta sounds very dull compared to the other cars.

[@aikumaDK]

I think Tomislav accidentally installed solid steel rods for suspension. /s I assume that a stiff suspension will help prevent body roll and sudden weight shifts, but *that* stiff suspension gotta be counter-productive.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

First event for that car since being totally rebuilt, still looking for proper setup ;)

[@Kulric]

I was going to comment something similar. The 997 looked like the benchmark for setup that day.

[@smudger6461]

I'd say that S1 is an absolute weapon, an extremely well set up car, along with the lancia intgrale. Never gets old ❤

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Proper Icons of the Sport ;)

[@stoneeh]

That green 991.2 looks and sounds so beautiful 😍But that 997 is FAST! Who knows, difference might just be the drivers. And as an VR6 owner myself, I of course enjoy that Cupra R32 every time :)

[@HillClimbMonsters]

VAG Group very well represented :D

[@user-bl8co6gq7i]

Always the old 997 GT3 with werver

[@hurelcedric2772]

Always pleasant to see Granny S1 showing some skills to the youngsters ^^

[@FlamesOfThought]

1. Lancia 2. Audi Quattro S1 Pikes Peak. 3...lots of other monster but the classic 80's monsters are historic

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Can ´t argue with that...

[@Cyrops]

3:40 what a unique sounding turbo inline 4!

[@ernstmarkus]

The king of sound will always stay Niki Zlatkovs S1! Please, never change this 2,2l engine!! The 2,5l Skoda 5cyl sounds very good too, but not as gasmic as the 2,2l even if he's faster at the end what may be due to higher risk. Excellent driving skills of all top pilots, impressive the Porsches with less power but even better lap times. Thank you @HillClimbMonsters for this excellent videos!

[@MrDjrecon]

I’d take any of these man sick video, that Audi S1 launches like a beast

[@mrblackrock555]

Boris katic o7 salute you sir for paying homage to Craig breen with the sticker on your car!

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Nice eye ;)

[@mrsimo7144]

Awesome. Thanks very much.

[@andysibthorp8064]

The Skoda Fabia Quattro is a beast.so much torque the car twists of the line trying to put the power down,and powerslides out of corners on the throttle.cracking motor total respect to driver 👍👍👍👍

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Gotta show more of it soon...

[@andysibthorp8064]

Can’t wait.thank you

[@matthewfitzgerald3875]

Nothing sounded better than the last down shift of that video ❤

[@EleanorPeterson]

Excellent footage. Lots of power may be fun, but if you're really in a hurry there's no substitute for a well-sorted chassis. 🙂

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Thanks!!

[@Curcuma50]

GT3 RS is a efficient Monster !

[@paulchenpanther602]

This cars sounds like Musik in my ears🏁🎶 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They share the engine arghitecture ;)

[@alcom3101]

MAGNIFIQUE🔬🎬

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Thanks!

[@dedykurniyanto6349]

Every car have character

[@SonicBoone56]

I'm slightly biased towards the highly tuned front wheel drive cars, ngl. It's just amazing to see them with a lot of power and cornering ability. However that second Lancer absolutely hugged the corners, I love it!

[@sllimnivet]

Tomislavs' Evo looks like it's a proper handful to drive! Sounds angry too! He has to let off the throttle so much.

[@bouzouki2006]

Porsche FTW ! :)

[@trebla_ttag9997]

Audi S1, Black Evo, Lancia, Fabia then the 997 for me

[@gbu31mk84]

What is wrong with black/red EVO 9 suspension?? So clymby jumping car … god

[@HillClimbMonsters]

First race of that unit since being rebuilt, still loooking for ideal setup.

[@user-tk3xj8ww2d]

Good job good job 😊

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Thanks!

[@Maiky78]

Cool cars drivers and track

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Such is the HillClimb Racing norm ;)

[@62davelee]

The Porsche at 13:45 looks like it's just swinging that front end around! Is that a driver really taking advantage of rear engine/ rear wheel drive? Very good video as usual!

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Thanks!!

[@lunatic206]

I guess the XU10J4 engine for the 306 Maxi was a 2.0l with 280hp in "stock". Were there some modifications made?

[@jtrettaroli]

Vamos Sur Corea

[@alfamonk]

got to admire the french here...lightness and handling prowess

[@davidbrown8517]

I would love to see 2024 F1 and WEC cars do demonstration runs up a hill climb.

[@YoSuey]

I love seeing the unhinged, "tuned last night" cars absolutely rip

[@rachmatdwiputramat2683]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@trob1173]

My vote is for the Pike's Peak Audi. Nearly 30+ year old car, still getting top ten finishes.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Well, that one is not exactly 30 years old... 😏

[@hillclimbracingfan5821]

Zlatkov’s unit is filled with modern tech-levels above original Pikes Peak version in every single regard.

[@slavplaysgames]

Buzet is a wonderful city and roads perfect for hillclimb .. I wish they would move wrc stages to islands or the coast .

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Not a bad idea for sure...

[@TheMoukis]

9:40. Does the SEAT have v6 or a vr6 engine? 9:51.

[@rodrigooliveira4278]

VR6 from a Golf R32, hence the name ;)

Wtf was that first Evo doing?

Doing its first Hillclimb after a full rebuild ;)

4:33 weshalb ein RS3 mit einem 4 Zylinder?

[@louis-jeanbraye9834]

2.25.122 porsche lol :) ♥ 1200kg /550ch no? :) yes! this all cars is rockets

[@Homme_Pur]

Never heard of a 2.4l 306 maxi, fairly sure it's only 2l

[@Sparky_D]

These drivers must be buggered at the end of the race. Wrestling those cars around the course would take it out of you. I know from high power go-karts how hectic it is.

Not in eastern Europe. Budget cuts.

[@dorsetwarrior3870]

​@@christophejergales7852not at all, to be able to compete you can't go over 350hp so the extra cylinder isn't needed since the ea 888 from the golf already make the power.

[@ndautomotive]

Why Niki Zlatkov's Audi is with the Austrian flag? He is Bulgarian 🇧🇬

[@velko2433]

Cause motorsport federation here does not support him 🇧🇬

Exactly, Bulgarian Federation is not issuing International Licenses for almost 4 years now. And the way to circumvent that by was getting an Austrian one.
