LoveFab had a rough run at [Pikes Peak 2012](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pikes peak/). During qualifying on Day Two, owner and professional driver Cody Loveland launched his car off of the course at nearly 60 miles per hour. Never ones to be dismayed by a few bruised ribs and some busted body panels, LoveFab is headed back to the hill climb for 2013, and this year, it’s bringing Garrett along as a title sponsor.
Loveland’s chariot of choice is officially dubbed “Turbo by Garrett/LoveFab Pikes Peak Enviate” and is loosely based on an [Acura NSX](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/acura nsx/). All of the stock Japanese components have been swapped for LoveFab-built pieces with the exception of the subframes and suspension.
With a dry-sump LS1 V8, chromoly-tube chassis and a full carbon fiber body, the car is about as wild as they come. With around 800 pound-feet of torque on hand and a curb weight of under 2,000 pounds, the machine should give the mountain a run for its money. The team is expected to begin testing Enviate beginning May 1. You can check out a quick interview with Loveland in the video below along with the full press release.Continue reading LoveFab headed back to Pikes Peak with NSX-based heathen [w/video]
