Hot Wheels 1999 3/4 #971 Sugar Rush Series II Pikes Peak Celica Sweettarts
 The Toyota Celica Pikes Peak is a purpose-built silhouette hill-climbing race car built by Rod Millen Motorsport to participate in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, specifically in the Unlimited class. The Celica Pikes Peak, despite its name, shared no parts with its road-going counterpart apart from the windshield and was essentially a Celica silhouette body on a custom-built chassis. The Celica was powered by a 2.1L 503E turbocharged inline-4 capable of 850 horsepower mated to a 5-speed manual; this engine was mainly used in Toyota's racing cars in Super GT and IMSA. The car featured aerodynamics done by "a famous IndyCar designer". Driven by Rod Millen, the Celica was first used in 1994, when it achieved a time of 10:04.060, a record that was not broken until 2007; it however remains the fastest time for a car around Pikes Peak before it was paved. Millen would campaign the Celica until 1997, where it won the hillclimb two more times but it would never beat its initial record. The Celica was replaced with a Tacoma in 1998, also built by Rod Millen Motorsport.
